Bill J: A chapter in my life
My life is like many others, happy doing the things in life I want to do ... Then in the short space of 2 years from my previous check up, it all changed ... the dreaded words “you have prostate cancer.” ... Now some 9 months down the track, I have pretty much returned to normal life.

Click Here Prostate Net®

Virgil H. Simons founded the Prostate Net® in 1996 as a result of his encounter with prostate cancer. When he was diagnosed, there was little to no readily accessible information to help prostate cancer patients and their families make informed treatment decisions. Moreover, Mr. Simons learned that black men bear a much greater risk for prostate cancer, both in regard to incidence and mortality, but found that there was no vehicle for educating that population about their situation. In response to these two crucial needs, The Prostate Net® came into existence.
