On this Thanksgiving Eve in the U.S., I just wanted to thank everyone who supported me through the last year of scans, tests, hormone therapy, and radiation therapy. Even though I’ve been dealing with this for twelve years, many of these were new and scary experiences for me. You helped me through them.

It’s funny in situation like these who steps forward to provide an ear to listen, some sage advice, and a shoulder to lean on. I’ve never met most of you in person, but you’ve supported me through your comments and emails, and I truly appreciate that.

I hope you have a great Thanksgiving—or Thursday, if you’re not in the U.S.—with your own support networks, whether they be family, friends, or fellow prostate cancer patients.
