Steve's prostate cancer diagnosis came in July 2013. It's
estimated that nearly 300,000 cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the US
in 2023, which makes it the most common cancer among men after skin cancer.
Typically low risk, 97% of those diagnosed with prostate cancer survive 15 years
after diagnosis.
But in Steve's case, despite immediate surgery, it's been anything but low
risk. Following surgery nearly eleven years ago at this writing, Steve has remained
in continuous treatment. He's experienced the prayerful anticipation
of countless experimental drug trials...only to be followed by the crushing disappointment
of dismal results. At his side through it all has been his lovely wife,
Diana, a cancer survivor herself.
Few people can write about cancer with humor. Let alone LOL humor.
Steve has managed to transform his cancer journey into an entertaining
trip through pop culture. Using movie lines - Hey brother, can you spare
$66,515- and song lyrics' - Go back, Jack, do it again - Steve writes with
self-effacing wit. Not an easy task to address a subject as serious as cancer, especially
his own. His experiences will no doubt clear a path for countless cancer patients,
and not just prostate cancer.
Recently, Steve received the Caesar Blevins Warrior Award from ZERO
Prostate Cancer in Washington, D.C. He was also named an Unsung Hero
by Cancer Family Care and Nonprofit Executive Director of the Year by
Medical Mutual. In February 2024, Steve spoke on cancer survivorship to more
than 1,000 pharmaceutical industry representatives in Orlando.
