Why would anybody in their right mind do this?
It took me three and a half years to get to 100 blogs. Others write that many entries in a few months. So speed wasn?t my strong suite.
I started out to provide short articles with the newest prostate cancer information, share my experiences with medications, side effects, and clinical trials. And I added a cartoon to almost every one to add a touch of humor?not necessarily politically correct. A few times I published a guest blog. Sometimes I summarized new information from cancer research. Most of the blog entries related at least partly to me, my life experiences, my friends with prostate cancer, ?and I must confess to the odd complaint (some side effects really suck).
By the time I started the blog I already knew my prostate cancer was incurable. I had just published a book about prostate cancer and my ongoing story. Writing and drawing cartoons has long been a good outlet for me. It has helped keep me positive and focused (most of the time) for the nine years (so far) of my journey.
I had few expectations when I launched the blog (launched may be pretentious?mostly I chose a name and clicked on an icon).
??????? I assumed not many people would read it?true, but the numbers are getting better.
??????? I assumed it would be fun for me to do?true, and it has continued to be.
??????? I assumed it wouldn?t make me rich or famous?true (so far) and I have no illusions of future fame or fortune.
??????? I assumed there would be breakthroughs in cancer treatment?true, and that?s good news for me and a couple million other men.
My expectations have changed a little. With my slowly growing knowledge of Internet technology I found ways to share information with more people. I even know what tweet and text mean. So, in the near future here?s what?s going to happen:
??????? My book, Real Men Get Prostate Cancer Too, is being updated (2nd Ed.) and will be republished soon. A lot has happened in the prostate cancer world (and mine) in four years. I even added some new cartoons.
??????? My other book (sounds impressive, eh?) with co-authorBoth books should be available by mid-April.
