My Aggressive CANCER Was Caught By Accident! "A routine test saved my life"

Stratton had no symptoms. No pain, no warning signs, just a routine annual physical that flagged an elevated PSA level. What followed was a diagnostic cascade: an in-office blood test, a biopsy he calls "draconian," and a diagnosis he never saw coming; aggressive, high-risk prostate cancer that had already reached the edge of his prostate wall. A 42-year trial lawyer used to handling other people's crises, Stratton had to apply everything he knew about strategy and preparation to his own. What came next, surgery, a recurrence, proton radiation, and a mountain in Tanzania, changed how he sees his entire life.
