Dear Eddie H — I don’t deserve you but you deserve—and I hope you find—someone. I’m a veteran of a mere 3 years of PCa, where you’ve got 11 years and counting. Can’t help you there. You probably know better than I all the potential sources of your “someone,” such as support groups and of course O4M. Can’t help you there. Nonetheless, I do see hope: In the fact that you’re reaching out, open to new possibilities. My bet is that things will break your way, likely not with the speed you’d like and surely deserve. I wish you well in all regards.

Thank you David for your kind words and support
