Hey guys and girls, sorry to be so blunt but a good buddy of mine is fighting cancer right now and going through Chemo as we speak. He is a construction contractor that does doors, windows, and siding. Obviously with his illness he hasn't been able to work much. If you have a spare dollar or a spare 10 dollars he could really use it. Thanks guys and girls for looking. 

Apparently can't post the direct link, but his name is Jeff Wermager. Trying to find a way to link now

    I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Based on what you have already said then why hasn't he opted for orchidectomy? His jewels are history and those diseased hangers are going to infest the rest of his body soon! My advice is get a doctor who knows what the hell he is advising his patients instead of giving false hope. Sorry for being so blunt,

    I'll be honest Ron, I don't know the exacts of the situation, I just know he is going through Chemo and he is the primary bread winner in the house. I'm just trying to help him as much as I can right now.

    I didnt mean to sound so cold, but I'm a 13 year prostate cancer survivor myself. The tests said I had one foot in the grave when I had just turned 57 the week before. While I still have jewels they are worthless if you get my drift! BTW guys...prostate cancer is NOT an if cancer, but a WHEN cancer so swallow your stupid pride and bend over when the doc says it is time for the test! Swallowed pride in the privacy of an office is better than premature death from prostate cancer. My uncle who was a man's man and could kick the **** out of anybody, plus drink them under the table had testicular cancer detected at age 50 and had the jewels removed. He died in his sleep at age 96.

    Ron. I'm a testicular cancer survivor. One of the first things they do is remove the one or both with nodules. Scan lymph nodes and check blood work. It's a horrible thing to go through. Fortunately this is a very treatable cancer if caught early and fought aggressively. Yes I went through several cycles of chemo. No radiation. @Scottborasjr‌ you're a great friend.

    Thanks guys, I know it's a very treatable form and am hoping for the best. Yesterday it just kind of hit me that "Jeff has cancer" because it was the first "annual" event of ours that he missed. Really put things in perspective for me.
    Thanks again fellas I truly do appreciate it.
