Dear Mark,

I came upon your story on Medium and want to thank you for sharing your difficult battle with prostate cancer. You are such a gifted writer and while cancer has taken away so many things (an understatement), your beautiful writing remains. Your witty endings, your poignant insights, your vivid descriptions stay with me long after I’ve finished reading them. Just wanted you to know that your writing has made a difference in the world.
