Stand Up To Cancer

Dan Zenka is the vice president of communications for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, and after helping fight the disease through his role with PCF, his battle recently became personal: he himself was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In his poignant blog, My New York Minute, Zenka documents his patient journey; in his first entry following diagnosis, he wrote:

"Since joining PCF, I have been issuing a simple call to men and families: Make Prostate Cancer Something to Talk About. Hence, the initiation of this blog. Through my treatment process I will share personal perspectives and insights--in no particular order--with the hope that it encourages discussion or provides some company to families who find themselves on a similar journey. Pick and choose what you need. Share in my therapeutic endeavor. This is no exclusive country club. We 1 out of 6 American men and our loved ones are all in this together."
