I spoke to Eric today at hospice in Glenview. He as taken from his home and placed in this hospice center about two weeks ago. He sounds weaker than he was last time I spoke to him. He said he posted something yesterday but I can find it. His wifi at the hospice building is very poor. I told him I would let everyone know he was still with us for Christmas. He wishes all of us happy holidays. Eric would really like to make everyone aware of this terrible disease prostate cancer. He would like everyone to be aware of prostate cancer prevention. He doesn't want any more men to go through what we are.
I hope I am wrong but after talking to Eric I get the feeling that he will be starting his next adventure soon. He will finally be free of the terrible pain he has been the last few months. My prayers are with Eric this Christmas and every day he is suffering.

Merry Christmas Eric. You are truly heroic. May peace and the love of all be with you these Holidays. You have taught me much about survival and persistence. One thing I take with me every day is no one will work harder to keep you alive and well than yourself.
I will update the group when I speak to Eric again. Eric cares about our group of PCa cancer patients and all of the wonderful caregivers. In a way we are sort of his family. Personally I think of him as a brother even though I have never met him.
I'm sad to hear this, he was the first man in this forum that talked to me when I came looking for answers for my dad. U are in my thoughts and prayers

Thank you so much for the update, Dennis. I think of Eric often and pray for a peaceful transition for him and no more blasted pain. He has been such a positive force in this group. I know none of us will ever forget his contributions. Peace to you Eric.
God bless you Eric! You have helped so many people. You welcomed me when I was first diagnosed with advanced cancer. You made a very positive impact on me. Please let us express how great a man you are!
Eric you are truly an inspiration to everyone who communicates with you or hears about you. You set the stakes high for everyone who walks this path of prostate cancer. May God bless as you continue on your journey. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I have been trying to contact Eric for over a month. I would leave a message with no reply or the phone mail was full. I new it must be at the end, if not I would have a call back. Eric was a brave selfless person who thought about others first. He gave us a lot of good information always wanting to inform us. My prayers are with Ericsson soul. My friend has stepped into his next great adventure. Thank you Eric for being there for us your brothers in APC. ( advanced prostate cancer )
My tears are for you and us for having lost a true friend.
