Gogs Gagnon was 57 when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Instead of just navigating the diagnosis and treatment privately, he wrote about it - the fear, the decisions, the day-to-day of getting through it - in Prostate Cancer Strikes: Navigating the Storm.
Mike Chouinard’s piece for the Comox Valley Record covers what happened after: the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC picked up the book and now distributes it provincewide to men who’ve just received the same diagnosis Gagnon did. A personal account written to be useful to strangers, from someone who knows exactly what they’re about to go through.
