When Perry was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer in August 2019, life changed in an instant. What followed was a journey marked by uncertainty, faith, resilience, and unexpected joy—a journey he now shares to encourage early detection, informed decision-making, and hope for men and families facing cancer.

Zaps, Drips and Squirts takes its name from Perry’s lighthearted nicknames for radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone treatments—humor that helped him reclaim a sense of control and humanity in the midst of a life-threatening diagnosis. But this book is far more than a memoir. It is a deeply personal, faith-filled guide rooted in real experience, practical insight, and spiritual encouragement.

Drawing from his care at the Novant Cancer Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Perry introduces readers to the doctors, nurses, and loved ones who walked beside him—and to the faith that sustained him. With honesty and humility, he reflects on learning to release self-reliance, embrace vulnerability, and accept the healing power of prayer, community, and connection.

This book also speaks urgently to the importance of prostate cancer screening and early detection, particularly for Black and African American men, who face significantly higher risks and worse outcomes. Perry confronts these disparities with clarity, compassion, and purpose, hoping to change the narrative for future generations.

Throughout the book, updates originally written as emails to family and friends offer an intimate window into the day-to-day realities of cancer treatment. Each chapter concludes with Gracious Words—scripture passages chosen to comfort, strengthen, and inspire, reminding readers that even in the darkest valleys, God’s presence brings healing to the soul.

Whether you are newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or seeking encouragement during a health crisis, Zaps, Drips, and Squirts offers clarity in confusion, confidence in uncertainty, and hope for the road ahead.
