diagnosed 2/1/11 with prostate cancer at the age of 41, highly unusual, aggressive but probably hasn't spread.  surgery to remove the prostate 7/5/11.  it spread to the bottom side of my bladdar where the cut was made.  chemo injection every three months along with 33 radiation treatments finished on 12/23/11.  i should be done now.  the side effects of everything is too much sometimes.  the hot flashes and sever mood swings drive me crazy.  i feel like a burden, i don't feel like a man anymore, my sex drive is gone and even if it wasn't i can't do anything about it.  my partner is very supportive and understanding but i feel like a burden and it's not fair to him.  my friends are supportive but i feel like i can't talk to them becuase they get tired of hearing me.  it's like i'm stuck in a world of grey all the time.  i've become a very good actor so no one will know the pain i have inside all the time.
