Dr. Riley Senft, a Canadian anesthesiologist is nearing the end of his quest to run across the length of Canada to raise awareness about prostate cancer. He also hopes to raise $1 million in support of prostate cancer research.
Senft will be wrapping up his run in Vancouver in the coming days. You can read all about his run and the great cause that he supports on his website.
My brother passed away last Tuesday, Oct 4th from Prostate
cancer that had spread to his bladder. He initially had
hormone treatment and a catscan that showed the cancer
had spread to his leg. He then had chemo which did nothing
and later had very strong chemo that left him weak and
tired. He was admitted to the hospital with blood in his
urine and the indication of Bladder cancer.
His previously cat scan taken a few weeks ago revealed
that no major organs were touched by the cancer but
it that was not the case obviously.
It was a very sad thing to see him suffer so.
