On march 31st 2016 i lost my dad to prostate cancer.My dad battled for about two and a half years and never made retirement age he was 64 years old.
He worked most of his life starting when he was still a child.The last days of my dads life was horrendous! he did suffer like many others who never beat the disease and his family had to watch helplessly untill he passed away.
