AT AGE 57, GOGS GAGNON became one of millions of men diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetimes. After his surgery and recovery, he decided to share his story to inspire others to advocate for their health and learn from his experiences. Prostate cancer hits at the very core of manhood, and Gogs, in this deeply personal account, reveals intimate details that everyone impacted by the disease — man or woman — needs to know.
Congratulations Gogs on recently becoming an elected council member of Prostate Cancer Foundation BC
