Back to my Normal Life?

As we left Japan, I wrote that we needed to get back to our normal lives. My normal life has changed. Mostly because of my friendship with those who have helped me, the shortcomings of the medical care system, and the success of the BLOG, my goals in life have changed. I have been through an experience that had its challenges but also presented me with a different purpose.
I know that there are several ways that I can be helpful to others who are facing prostate cancer. I know there will be big changes coming in the way it is treated and how the side-effects are handled. I can help people navigate those changes.
I am in the process of writing a book that will cover some areas that are not adequately addressed by the information that is out there. I am joining some local people to set up an information/support group. And finally, as time permits, I will try to make myself available to those who are facing choices or dealing with side effects.
So now, my "normal life" is changed, and I hope it will be one that is even more rewarding than the one I had before the date of my diagnosis.
