Slow going but still here and improving!

Well, given the knee replacement and followup doctors for my Cancer. This whole year I have averaged two doctor visits a month. A few months three. No month one.

All well, even though my prostate Cancer has returned. Being treated successfully as no evidence of disease. My Oncologist has suggested eight months of meds until my psa rises up to 3 or doubles quickly like it did earlier this year. When that happens I will get a Bone Scan and CT Scan. With no spreading back on the meds as now.

I ask questions and make sure I understand. Add in my doctors have come to expect me to do this so they are prepared to explain and justify in ways that help me.

The most important thing is a positive attitude. My doctors agree and love that I am involved with them and my health.

Pleas let me know how you are doing and of course any comments you might have!

I am a retired Controls Engineer, Teacher and Code Officer. While in teaching I worked with students in crisis. This taught me to listen. Before all that I had Testicular Cancer in 1975 . In both cases I had radiation but for the Prostate it was much more detailed, sophisticated, and focal. My initial Prostate Cancer, Gleason 9 aggressive, treatment included Radiation and Hormone therapy. I am now on my third round of treatments. Yes the Cancer has returned but no spreading so far. PET scans, bone scans, MRI and lots of xrays under my belt. Along the way I wrote a book about my Cancer experience, titled the same as this Blog. I need to share my thoughts on Cancer and life in general. Life is too precious to spend it angry, in pain, with fear, and doubts. All I am trying to do is help others with Cancer be better.
