Prostate cancer blog preface;
My father Bill Waltrip having read my blog felt he could smooth my rough edges. I agree. Here is his introduction to my cancer blog.
My son is 63 years old, damn. Seems like yesterday I watched him play high school football.
He is a retired air traffic controller.
Some might say my son is an exercise nut. His lifestyle has been to exercise daily. He has endeavored to have a reasonably healthy diet, Enjoys his red wine, it’s good for you.
When things go wrong he is not a why me, kind of person. He thinking is, lets just get it solved.
So when my son Wayne, found out he had prostate cancer, he researched his options looking for solutions. And he found that finding the cancer is the essential beginning. Knowledge is the key to surviving this disease.
A man needs to be PSA tested. Because as luck would have it, my son found a lump on his testicle, which led to a PSA test. Prostate cancer was diagnosed . This led to the surgery that eradicated his cancer.
I am proud to say that Wayne rode Coast to Coast in 1985 for MS. And the fund raiser was a success raising $22000 for the charity. We are very proud of this accomplishment. Now he is riding for a cause that dramatically affected his life. This bicycle ride fund raiser is very close to his heart.
I am proud to be a part of his journey.
Bill Waltrip
