Why Self-Advocacy Matters
Kevin spent 21 years as a police officer, facing danger head-on. But nothing could have prepared him to hear one word: cancer.
After losing his mother to the disease, the diagnosis felt overwhelming—especially when others tried to downplay it. “It’s just prostate cancer,” they said. But Kevin knew better. He refused to minimize something that felt deeply serious.
Everything changed during a golf trip with friends. A casual conversation led him to learn about proton therapy—something he had never even heard of before. That moment sparked deeper research, a virtual consultation with Dr. Mark Storey, and ultimately, a life-changing decision.
Kevin chose proton therapy—and never looked back.
Expecting difficult side effects, he was surprised to experience none. What stood out most wasn’t just the treatment, but the care—time, compassion, and trust from his medical team.

✔️ Ask questions ✔️ Explore every option ✔️ Advocate for themselves
