    In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with our very own Bob as he opens up about his personal journey with prostate cancer. With honesty, courage and hope, he tells us about the first signs, the initial diagnosis, and the emotional and physical challenges of treatment and recovery. Bob shares the highs and lows, the lessons that came with uncertainty, and how this experience reshaped his outlook on wellness and purpose.
