My name is Norman Ceasar. I was born and raised in Washington, DC. I attended the District of Columbia Public Schools and graduated from Woodward Preparatory School and later took classes at the University of the District of Columbia, UDC. Worked for the US Postal Service until I retired, after 34 years of service, in 2009. Part-time during those years, I also invested in Real Estate. I purchased houses that needed work, renovated them, and then rented them out.
I was inspired to write this book on surviving prostate cancer because of my experience with the disease, I realized the importance of making other men aware and educating them about prostate cancer. Too many men have died and are dying from prostate cancer. For those who died, their deaths may have been avoided with just a little more knowledge about the disease. It is highly curable if caught early.
My mission is to tell my story of how I survived prostate cancer. Mainly because cancer was detected early when it is most curable. I survived prostate cancer by getting my physical and my blood work done every year in January my birth month starting at age 35.
I wanted to live and be here for my family. I believed God had more for me to do. I prayed for His wisdom and then took the steps necessary to make that happen. I did the research necessary to become informed of my options, talking with my doctors, and family, and finally choosing the best treatment for myself. I had to fight the battle in my mind when thoughts of doubt of my decisions would rear its head.
