Photojournalist Jack Kurtz

I just came across this article from 2 years ago about the passing of Jack Kurtz.

I am survivor of the cancer he “experienced,” and there is an underlying message for guys in his story about knowing your PSA.

You can view his work here:

Can't get through the article due to family history, but his work, particularly the Social Issues and Topics gallery has very touching images.
Thanks for sharing and wishing you continued health and strength, Vincent

thank you vince...

Touching story for sure, really upfront account, honest truths stated most don't want to hear about.

My Grandfather had prostate cancer. He was diagnosed at 94, had surgery and survived. His surgeon was a miracle man, removed all the cancer and didn't clip anything he shouldn't have (there's a story that I can't retell here as to how we know). I get checked yearly, I have an enlarged prostate but no cancer. Anyway, I took care of my Gramps until his death from "old age", at 96 he looked at me and said "I've had enough", checked himself into the local geriatrics unit, and a month later passed peacefully in his sleep. The best two years of my life.
