This month marks two years since my diagnosis of stage four cancer. I’ve been trying to come up with ways to commemorate my cancerversary. I have a few ideas, but I thought I would go to the HU brain trust for some more innovative options.
Here’s what I have so far…
• Open up my supply of catheters and see if they still hang up going around my prostate
• Pose for a Men of Prostate calendar, wearing only a Depends
• Inject some Trimix and experiment to see if I can hang a handkerchief on my Balsawoody (the days of playing a towel rack or “pitching a tent” are over)
• Watch “You’ve Got Mail” and have a good cry
• Workout with inflatable weights so I can feel good about my strength
• Manscape my body – woops, no body hair left
• Contact NASA to take a dick pic of me with their new James Webb Telescope (to make the lil’ guy visible to the naked eye)
• Treat myself to a new sports bra
• Sit down to a hearty mealworm burger and alcohol free beer (or horse piss if available)
• Mix up all my meds and supplements and play “guess the pill”
What did I miss?
And a tip of the hat to Daryll for his suggestion that I celebrate by, "supporting our community with a donation at Malecare.org/donate"

Thanks for the reminder Darryl. I'll definitely donate in appreciation for all of the great work you and your team do, and for all of the great info I've gleaned from this site.
You forgot about gather up all your favorite females and drink to celebrate another year of living with cancer. We typically drink until 4AM and reinforce that I am living with not dying from cancer, my guy friends are still reluctant to discuss this subject
My oncologist is leaving, but I'm hoping to try BAT once I get a new MO. Still managing sex without Testosterone, but would love to see some of the old wood - and I'm sure my wife would like it as well
In the past when misfortune hit I had the choice to laugh or cry. Now, thanks to ADT, I can do both simultaneously. Never had to worry before if I had an "ugly crying face"
According to my family I've always generated a lot of hot air. Now with my BS and my hot flashes, Smokey has ordered me to stay out of the national parks until fire season passes.
I'm on the same calendar as you Carlosbach - this week marks the 2 year date since that prostate biopsy - an experience I would not wish upon anyone.
I'm thinking I might celebrate with your number 3 item - the TriMix - but maybe tie a helium balloon to my 'shrinky dinky' - i think the little guy might be able to hold that up.
Congrats on 2 years. I love the helium idea. I was thinking about donning a penis sheath (like the men of the Dani tribe wear) but I like your idea better.
