	A Prostate Cancer Survivor Explores Papau New Guinea

Letters

You may remember that around the time of my prostate surgery I said it was my hope to recover rapidly enough to be able to climb a 14er by the end of August. I'm proud to say that despite having my fitness training put on hold for 2 weeks in July because of cataract surgery restrictions, I did indeed manage to get into good enough shape to climb Torreys Peak (14,270 feet) this past Wednesday, the 28th (almost exactly 3 months after the surgery)! And even though the section of climb from the saddle between Gray's and Torreys is a challenging Class II route up a pretty steep slope (roughly 40 degrees), I was able to make the entire ascent fairly easily and had no significant aches/pains/fatigue either during the climb or the day after.

Please feel free to use my story (and photos below) as needed to reassure future Prostate Cancer victims...and Radical Prostatectomy candidates/patients in general...that there is indeed life after a cancer diagnosis and that a Prostatectomy (at least one done with your skills) won't keep them from taking on strenuous physical challenges. Hopefully what I achieved can serve as an inspiration/motivation for at least one of your other patients.

Warmest regards,
Here are some photos from the climb.
