About Me
My Journey
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, late stage 2, in the middle of the pandemic lockdown. Talk about a double double whammy! I went through it alone and in isolation. I don't recommend that. Find support. Tell a friend.
I set out to find resources for gay men. to find something that would help me deal with facing cancer and the potential loss of my sexuality. And I couldn't find anything, so I just started writing about my own experience. My own thoughts and fears. Never intending to share that with anyone. But in time, that changed.
Learning to Lead
I've been a leader before in business. This is a very different type of leadership. Because I had to truly face my fears and push myself to be vulnerable. I continue to do that, but am now ready to help others through this challenging situation.
I'm not a healthcare professional nor licensed therapist. I'm just someone who's learned a lot about what it means to be a gay man with prostate cancer and how to navigate and nurture sexuality and intimacy despite the challenges brought about by prostate cancer and treatment.
I hope this will become my life's work so I can really focus on helping others. I plan to build a non-profit organization for this purpose, so I can provide more resources and support for gay men. Stay tuned for more.
Life in San Francisco
I’m a tech writer and artist, and now life coach for men facing prostate cancer.
I feel blessed to be living in San Francisco, in a thriving gay community with a lot of support and resources. Despite having all that, prostate cancer was still hard to face. So, I can’t imagine what it’s like for gay men in other places with less support. I hope this site will make up for some of that.
