To all my HW Family:
Reflections on my birthday. Well, I made it to 64 today, that’s already three more years than that dumb Urologist (sorry Doc) gave me seven years ago, when diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in 2012. I am beating the odds in a strong way.

I can only wish the same for each and every one of you. Actually almost 90% of you don’t have to worry much about it. And why worry anyway. I don’t have that attitude. I try to live for each and every day. Make it count, pay it forward. Try to make things a little better for those to come after me, especially family. Believe in things that I can’t see in front of me, but know that they will occur. That’s Faith with a capital F, and that’s what I am made of.

I appreciate and love you all out there on this forum, you have kept me strong, your words are ingrained in my mind, and give me some hope and knowledge , and even power, as I dash thru this PC Journey.
As I sign off for now I like to borrow that phrase, just " Keep the Faith! "

Beautifully said, Wings of Eagles. I admire both your faith and your attitude. May you indeed "soar on the wings of eagles" someday, in the way you want to.

Happy birthday, and a hearty wish that you have many more!

Congrats, Wings. Sounds to me as though you've got a good long life ahead of you. As a fellow metastatic cancer survivor, I know that your attitude is the only way to live.

Happy Birthday, Wings of Eagles!

Sixty four candles on your cake is a great reason to celebrate!

Those candles shine a bright light, indeed --- and so do you, on this website!

Thanks for shining the light and here's to more candles on next year's cake!

With all my best,
