JimJimJimJim Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I was sad to hear of the passing of Dr Gerald Chodak. I found him extremely helpful as my consultant early on in my prostate cancer journey. I was honored and grateful that such a world leader would give me his time. Later, he was invaluable and inspiring as I developed a mentoring role for other men with advanced prostate cancer. One Skype call I took from him, he was in Rome, Italy at a conference. It was past midnight there, but he patiently and thoroughly dealt with my issues until everything was covered. His videos also have inspired and empowered many men and their carers. A thorough gentleman.

ardee Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Howard Wolinsky, who frequently writes about PCa - especially AS on MedPage Today, is crafting his own obituary that will shortly be published on that website. Howard paid a moving tribute to Dr. Chodak during the AnCan AS call last night; he has known him over 40 years and like Jim, Howard was another mentee. Update - here's the link kto Howard's obit: https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/apatientsjourney/82547 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
