Nine years ago, Joel was diagnosed with prostate cancer at his annual wellness exam while living in Connecticut; his best friend was his urologist at the time. He began making regular visits to Boston to get treated at Dana-Farber. For 42 days, after work, 
Joel would drive to Dana-Farber to get radiation treatments, then drive back home. Eventually, his PSA levels started to rise. Working with Dr. Mark Pomerantz, Joel started a hormone drug regimen that worked for a while, until it eventually stopped being effective.
