  • Year 2 Update

    It’s 2019, and some 19 months after my initial diagnosis, and things could not be going better – save the cancer just magically going away. The first-line treatment I’m on is still all about testosterone deprivation, called ADT. I’m on 3 overlapping meds for this – two orals and a monthly injectable. My PSA scores…

  • David vs. Goliath, part 1

    One of my bucket list items, going all the way back to my Uncle David Turner taking me for a flight in his Piper (Cherokee? Comanche?) when I was six. I just fell in love. (I remember being disappointed then that his plane wouldn’t do loops or rolls.) I got a little more enamored of…

  • It's Movember and I'm on a Mission!!

    I’m launching a fundraiser for the Movember Foundation for the month of November. The Movember Foundation does great work with men’s health issues: prostate and testicular cancers,  and mental health and suicide prevention. They’re funding a Prostate Cancer Research Study that I’m participating in that is trying to correlate care decisions and changes in care to…

  • So, yeah… cancer.

    HansleyLove hasn’t posted in a while because this particular blog entry needed to be written and published. It took a while to process and share publicly. Here’s the story. ———————– Starting in Fall 2017, I started having random bone aches and pains. At the time, I chalked most of it up to getting older and…

  • Transitioning beyond the small pond.

    Our company, Castle Worldwide, was recently purchased by Scantron. Scantron, in turn, is owned by Harland Clarke, which should be familiar to you if you write checks: their name is on the bottom-left corner of every check I’ve ever seen. Castle had been a 30-year-old privately-owned company  with a very small number of individual owners…

  • No, my abs aren't weak – they're just sleepy.

    This past week I went to see a sports massage therapist (John Stiner of Stiner Massage) to look into the issues I was having with my painful right hip. I went to John because he’s not just a massage therapist; he’s someone who looks at your whole body to diagnose what’s going on and then…

  • Amazon vs. Shopping Local.

    We Hansleys are spoiled by our Amazon Prime membership.  Personally, I love being able to get whatever I want delivered within a day or two without having to drive anywhere or having to talk to an actual person. Its only limit is groceries, even though Amazon now owns Whole Foods and allows you to order…

  • Lessons from a 12-miler.

    I did 12 miles at Umstead yesterday. It took me almost four hours to do those 12 miles, thanks to hip pain that manifested itself halfway through my out-and-back run. The worst part wasn’t the physical pain; it was the mental calisthenics my brain put me through as I tried to deal with the disappointment of…
