"Often, people just didn't get timely, accurate information," Schover said. "We have a program for men and a program for women and each of them has information on all different types of cancers and treatments and what they do to sex and fertility." 'Bring happiness back' These days, Robert Fisher has converging come- back stories about rebuilding a full life, a beloved car and a water-logged residence. A few years after graduating from Westbury High School in 1980, he landed his first dream job working as a mechanic with A.J. Foyt Racing, the organization run by the legendary auto racing driver of the same name. Fisher received formal training as a mainte- nance mechanic from Rice Aviation in 1990, then began working in oil fields offshore and interna- tionally. For the last four years, he has been a sales executive with ABCO Subsea. Since the implant surgery, Fisher and his wife have had the added stress of renovating their Westbury-area home, which flooded last year during Hurricane Harvey. MEN ' S HEALTH The cancer survivor's muscular arms hint at his continued heavy lifting on projects and other work with his hands. Cancer developed in some pockets of his lungs, so he went back on chemotherapy a few months ago. Bald as the 8-ball on his pool table, Fisher strives to take his mind off the treatment and to keep his energy high. He made some upgrades to his pickup truck and continues to work part-time. "So far, everything has worked well. I feel very blessed and I'm sure every day I get is a gift and I'm happy I have it," Fisher said, explaining further why he was willing to speak publicly about his experience. "If I can't pass on anything, I've wasted everything. If this can help others, I'm happy as can be." Having replaced the hood on his beloved Monte Carlo, which has traveled less than 60,000 miles, he now hopes to spend quality time with his wife and fellow classic car enthusiasts at shows and other gatherings across the country. Robert and Erin Fisher celebrated five years of marriage in May. "I had an opportunity to bring happiness back to her and that was the most important thing to me," he said. "Honestly, it's better than before." After bladder cancer treatment and minimal success with sexual function solutions, Robert Fisher saved his physical relationship with his wife of five years, Erin, with a penile implant.
