Elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen levels) lead to Henry undergoing a biopsy, which revealed stage IV prostate cancer. He was officially diagnosed on August 13, 2021. He went to the doctor after getting a hemorrhoid while offshore fishing. His primary care doctor was the one who suggested also checking his PSA levels as a routine matter of care. A month after diagnosis, Henry underwent surgery toremove his prostate, seminal vesicles, and 27 pelvic lymph nodes, 8 of which were metastatic. After the surgery, surgical margins were deemed positive, meaning cancer cells were still present on the edges of the tissue. In response, Henry started systemic drug therapy in November and later, 40 sessions of radiation from January through March 2022. He is still in treatment and continuing the systemic drug therapy. Henry points out that he feels like more than a number at Dana-Farber because of the continued care and compassion that he receives: ranging from the nurses to radiation therapy technicians.
