David Emerson

David was diagnosed at age 42. His prostate cancer was aggressive and had metastasized to his bones and lymph nodes. In his blog he wrote: "... I've got it. My instant thought -- I do not want to die, this is harder than I ever expected, pray for me."

Almost seven years later, David is fighting his cancer with vigor, participating in PCF-supported clinical trials for two new drugs: abiraterone (Zytiga) and XL184 (cabozantinib). He has also fought back by starting the Faith, Love, Hope, Win (FLHW) Foundation, raising more than $200,000 for PCF-sponsored research.

David is a survivor advancing the field of prostate cancer research both through FLHW and his participation in clinical trials.
