Resources.

Often, I found I didn’t even know resources existed. Sometimes I bumped into them, and other times my advocacy and asking lots of questions turned up resources. I will share what I learned during my diagnosis phase, and my treatment and post chemo phases…

Mentors & Mentees

“I “bumped” into an oncology social worker at UCSD, when I didn’t even know someone had a job like this. She told me about two organizations that match cancer patients with mentors that have had the same cancer. I can’t thank her enough for sharing this valuable resource with me.

Imerman Angels, located in the US, matches mentors with mentees. While PSCC is very rare, Imerman has been able to make matches. After receiving a mentor during my chemo phase, I was determined to one day become a PSCC mentor. And I did!

Imerman also helps caregivers find mentors. This is very important since this cancer can consume the time and spirit of our caregivers.

    I never thought I would start a YouTube channel or a blog. PSCC cancer needs awareness so we can break the cycle of men getting sick, and some of them dying. I hope by sharing my journey that others can find useful information and get the early diagnosis and treatment they desire.

  • Chemo

    Story Teller

    Focused, approachable, and driven by results, Chemo is helping to create awareness about PSCC. Chemo will ride roller coasters and do other things Ty won’t do. He will even eat Brussel Sprouts. Chemo is married and he loves being a dad. Someday Chemo hopes to be part of the Blue Man Group.
