Overview

Daniel Zeller

Dan was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2010 at the age of 52. Writing about his diagnosis was therapeutic, and it really helped rationalize his thoughts in the treatment decision-making process. He created his blog, Dan’s Journey through Prostate Cancer, to keep family and friends informed but, over the years, its mission morphed into education and increasing prostate cancer awareness. Now, as Dan faces the possibility of recurrence, the blog has returned to its original intent.
