HisProstateCancer is a labor of love, inspired by a wonderful man who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 at age 49. Two months after his radical prostatectomy, he was skiing and outrunning his wife (our founder and editor). Two years later, his cancer returned and he had 6 months of hormone therapy followed by 8 weeks of radiation. Just after his 5-year milestone, his PSA became detectable again (0.001), but has remained stable without additional treatment.
About our founder and editorDana Kababik is a professional writer who has more than 20 years

Personal experience plus extensive research
HisProstateCancer blends general information with
real-life experience and is written specifically for wives, partners and
family members.
All articles are thoroughly researched using reputable and respected medical sources, which are listed on each page. This information is meant to be used as a starting point for meaningful discussions with your healthcare team. We are not medical professionals and cannot address medical questions.
We may come from different places, and love men with different Gleason scores, but we’re all in this fight together. Never give up the fight!
