Clark, may I enter the Parker Prostate shoot even if I no longer have a prostate?

Dean, I think we could put quite a squad together with "Prostate-less" guys. I've been through 4 phases of treatment, including surgery and managed to break 22 shooting trap this morning. It's better to shoot without a prostate than not be here to shoot at all!
Here at MSK this afternoon for my quarterly check up. So far, so good.... |

 Indeed I can only hope to fully agree with that sentiment.My prostate story is long and weird (at one point when I suggested to my (female) urologist that maybe a biopsy would be in order... She said to me "Why would you ever want to open that Pandora's box?" at which point I fired her on the spot, got a new urologist who took 16 biopsies (the standard is 12) and it was determined that my prostate was "wall to wall" filled with cancer.) A month later I had a radical robotic prostatectomy... I have been cancer free since that day some six years ago... I only wish Allan Swanson, our very dear friend, had been so lucky. My cancer tumor marker is still at 0.01% .

The sxs community appears to be made up of mostly older guys. A good percentage of us are going to wind up with prostate cancer. Sharing our experiences is bound to help, even though each of our stories is unique.
And if I can take a day off from the farm to go to a breast cancer shoot, I can sure as heck take a day to go to a prostate shoot !!!! |
