I am participating in November and here is my progress documented using the Movember iPhone App.
Comments: Hello, my name is Kealoha and this is my Mustache, Hauhnrest Roebarn.
Taken from their website:
"The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days."

Ask the phlebotomist to have your blood drawn at alternating sites to avoid scarring your vessel/vein when drawing the blood from the same. Apply direct pressure for 2 minutes immediately to the puncture site to avoid bruising and cover it with band-aid.
Chemo infusion can be hard on the vessels and should also be administered at alternating arms and different vessels. It’s ideal that the IV access for Chemo should be started from the distal part of your arm (like the hand or above the wrist) and Avoid over a bent of the arm, which can limit your movement and bending the limb can cause “extravasation of Chemo into your tissues”, leaking of Chemo resulting to swelling and pain.

Per this recommendation, my infusions were on alternating arms each time. And I've no scarring as a result.

The individual's whom work in the Infusion Center are the most professional people. And it's so comforting. And they're all women and they are all awesome.
BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOU GIRLS!!!

NFL Houston Texans players show their support for Blue Cure!
Big thank you to Matt Schaub, Chris Myers, T.J. Yates, J.J Watt, Darryl Sharpton, Johnathan Jones, Brooks Reed, Danieal Manning, Antonio Smith, Owen Daniels, Ben Tate, Arian Foster...these pro athletes are helping Blue Cure share the anticancer message of prevention and healthy lifestyles, helping us reach a younger generation.
I figured I take a self pic of myself and my pathetic, embarrassing moustache. The things we do for charitys right? If anyone doesn't know, November is now Movember, a charity to help raise money/awareness of testicular and prostate cancer. All men have to do is grow a moustache for the month.
I will say that I'm cheating a little bit because I kept the goatee whereas the official rules say you have to be clean shaven on Nov 1st. My excuse whoever is it takes forever for me to grow my facial hair (as evidenced by the 'stache) and I'm getting married on Dec 11th. The fiance would be rather upset if I cut it off now.
It's to the point that I really want to cut the 'stache but I have to keep it one through the end of the month. I'll tell you, it was fun to have in Vegas last weekend for the bachelor party (sarcasm).
If anyone out there would like to donate to this great cause, you can hit up the link to go to my team's page and throw a couple bux there.

Dr. Juan Reyna's wife Joni announced that she and her husband are establishing a charitable foundation whose mission is to promote prostate cancer awareness and provide patient support. The foundation will be called “Los Padres” or “The Fathers” in recognition of all of the men affected by prostate cancer. Joni Reyna explained that both she and her husband’s fathers had cancer when they died. The couple views their work with the foundation as a tribute to their dads.
In 2013, Los Padres and Urology San Antonio will collaborate with the national nonprofit organization ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer – to sponsor the first prostate cancer awareness and fundraising run in San Antonio.

The 2018 Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride. Meet at Devonshire Green, Sheffield prior to the ride out to Matlock and the Peak District on Vintage machines to raise money for Prostate Cancer and Male Mental Health charities.
Diagnosed today 19th August 2015. My Prostate cancer is described as 'advanced prostate cancer', meaning (I think) that my prostate is riddled and the cancer is showing on the left hand side of my pelvis and a tiny sliver on a lymph node.
Because I have Huntington's disease, the surgeons have chosen not to operate on me.

Radiotherapy treats cancer with high-energy rays that damage or destroy cancer cells. The treatment is planned careful to ensure that the rays are targeted precisely onto the cancer, and do as little harm as possible to healthy tissues nearby.
