Murray Keith Wadsworth

Murray was a very healthy and active young man, not predisposed to prostate cancer and not in a high-risk category due to family histories, race, or old age, but he indeed came to have prostate cancer. He is an average man’s man, leaving home at eighteen and supporting himself ever since. He has a zest for life while being a humble, discreet man. Murray is a father of two and raised them on his own from elementary school onward. His daughter Shannon graduated from Johns Hopkins with honors in neurology, and then earned her PharmD from the University of Texas. His son Matthew has established considerable independence despite his severe disabilities of being armless, handless, and legally deaf while living with kidney disease. Murray has always wanted to write, but until his experience with prostate cancer he had not found the topic or the necessary passion. He was a successful small IT business owner, with offices in the US and UK. However, he stepped away from the business at fifty-eight to pursue his health options and to maximize every minute of life, including the writing of this book. His next book, anticipated to be published in 2020, is about the incredible struggle of living with severe disabilities in America—as experienced and as seen through the eyes of a loving committed father.
