Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / February 2005Berky
It is with great regret that I forgot to mention our dear departed friend's, Maynard Berkowitz, passing on January 18th, 2004. Berky helped many of us who were diagnosed in the late 90s to mid-2003 or so. It seems appropriate to mention his almost indomitable spirit.

I spoke a lot with Maynard, the warrior. He helped me.... Here is one of many posts I saved. John, Sadly, I will not be here forever. As a warrior, per my signature, I will fight this thing as long as I can. When this trial stops working, I will seek out another, and then another and so on. It doesn't take guts, it does take a desire to stave off the disease for as long as possible. What I have is not curable by any standard treatment. If there is a cure to be found, it will be in clinical trials. I am particularly interested in virus trials, immune system boosters, and cell modification trials. They seem to have the most potential. Chemotherapy trials is just more of the same old thing. I would also consider a Phase II trial on antiangiogenesis trials. All this said, there is a time for chemotherapy, but I'm not there yet. I would encourage anyone else that is in the same boat as I am to do likewise. Berky the Warrior Folie ^ Deux With my regards to Maynard, he is looking down at us, and seeing if we have followed his example.

An unforgettable guy who helped so many! MikeH If wealth was measured in the number of friends we have Berky would have been considered a very wealthy man. It was PC that brought us together but somehow we managed to stuff a whole lifetime of friendship into a few very short years. I still can't think about his passing without dissolving into tears.
