Michael Izen just cleared 50 and he's on a collision course with death from prostate cancer.
His humorous look at his prostate cancer and how it is taking his life, “Finger Up the Bum” demonstrates that even while facing death life with joy and purpose.
He’s only 50 but 51 isn't looking promising. Why and how did this happen? He's not supposed to be dying of prostate cancer because, as he was told repeatedly, "Guys in their early 40s don't get prostate cancer. Nothing to worry about because statistically that's the way it works."
Over the past five years, he's had surgery, he's had one treatment after another. Some work for awhile, others for shorter periods of time but now he's out of options. So he took a look at what he wanted to do and one thing was to chronicle his relationship with cancer and to focus on the the people he loves.
