First blog - intro


My name is Mike Dziadzio and I live in Enfield, CT.

I created this blog to share some of my prostate cancer experiences with other men who have it, and also to let family & friends know how I’m doing.  Initially this blog will be mostly retrospective – how I got here from there. Then I plan to continue to post as events unfold.

I’ve learned a little bit over the years, discussing prostate cancer with doctors, with friends who have had it, attending support group meetings, and reading a lot of stuff online. Doctors tend to not want to prognosticate – they like to deal in facts. My friends have mostly been ”clean” for years and seem to have beaten prostate cancer. The support group meetings sometimes have not applied to what I’m currently going through (though I strongly recommend them).  A lot of medical  internet articles tend to be very technical – some of them make my head spin. So I decided to start a blog of what I knew – maybe it will be of some help to someone who just found out that they have prostate cancer. Since I started collecting my thoughts for my blog I found a bunch of other blogs (why I never looked for any before this is beyond me).

 I will also not assume that my readers know anything about prostate cancer (even though I’m certainly no expert). So if you’re looking for experts, try these other blogs.
