Late to update because of Covid

Goes without saying that I have been distracted so because of Covid and NY State’s reaction to it.

None the less I need to get this off my chest. My Prostate Cancer has returned. Mildly, but showing signs of return in a rising psa. Not at the scare level but increasing none the less. Actually just a bit above 2.

Had a biopsy scheduled then canceled due to pandemic then finally did have it. No malignancy found but still the lymph nodes area is common for prostate Cancer so radiation was scheduled.

In fact I have been through two of the five treatments to date. Must say that the process is a bit weird. The treatment area is the lower left side, in the seam of the front of the leg and belly. Required a CT Scan to target the area and put marks on me for locating the radiation beams. Marks adhesive tabs, and some small tattoos. All done with female nurses and lowering my pants and underwear.

Those involved, more than 2, are very aware of patient modesty. Given all I have been through modesty is at the bottom of the scale but I appreciate their approach. They also don’t need to see another chubby old man’s parts – that I get!

Next week I expect to start my 18-24 months of ADT with a 6 month shot. Whoopie?

I will be posting again sooner.

Thanks for stopping by.
