COWORKER, RANDY SHAVER.
BACK IN AUGUST HE SHARED THAT
HE IS FIGHTING CANCER AGAIN.

REACHED OUT TO SHOW YOUR
SUPPORT AND ASK HOW HE IS
DOING.

I WAS SET UP TO DO SURGERY.
FULL STEAM AHEAD.
THE MORE I GOT INTO LEARNING
ABOUT OTHER THINGS THAT WERE
OUT THERE, I TALKED TO A LOT OF
DOCTORS, AND GOT SOME OPINIONS.
I FINALLY LANDED ON HORMONE
RADIATION.
RADIATION. IT IS THE BEST FOR ME.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT I HAVE HAD
SOME HOT FLUSHES BECAUSE AS
HORMONE TURNS OFF MY
TESTOSTERONE, WHICH IN ESSENCE
KILLS THE CANCER.
IT IS A GREAT THING.
IT ALSO BASICALLY TURNS MY
SYSTEM INTO A MENOPAUSAL WOMAN.
I AM STARTING TO FEEL THE
EFFECTS.

POSSIBILITY.
