always on my mind

The inspiration for 'Always On My Mind' comes perhaps mostly from a conversation I had with someone who's journey with prostate cancer has been remarkably similar to mine. Not for the first time, being able to talk about what I was going through with someone who'd been along a similar road, had a profound effect on me.
Even though we have the love and support of families and friends, coming to terms with prostate cancer and the impact it has on our lives, is inevitably a personal and challenging journey. I've certainly found being able to share my story* with other people whose lives have also been affected by prostate cancer to be wonderfully helpful in so many ways.
Because of this, 'Always On My Mind' is designed to be somewhere where we can share our experiences and our stories...somewhere where we can know we're not alone...somewhere where sharing our journey not only has the potential to benefit us, it also has the very real potential to benefit others.

WHY THE NAME?
It's perhaps self-evident, but the name ('Always On My Mind') comes from personal experience...the experience being that since being diagnosed with prostate cancer, one way or another, dealing with it has led to it always being on my mind. 
Even if a PSA count ends up being low enough to be of little or no concern, having the count checked regularly into the future means it never completely leaves your mind.
