I had my monthly Chemo care shot yesterday. Took just shy of an hour from arrival to getting the shot. Never took this long before. The check in clerk asked me if this was my first time – NO! The nurse said the same and then, several times, used the same explanation of why itContinue reading “Venting Frustration”

In early September this year I had relatively major surgery on my left hand. Up until then the pain limited me some what for activities. Being left handed but ambidextrous I was able to do things. During the recovery period, still ongoing, I was limited to my right hand only. Oh sure, was able toContinue reading “Disability to Ability”

I would like to voice this: There are many things in our lives, day to day things, tasks, friends, family, and loved ones that help us manage to, hopefully, enjoy our living. Any that have been diagnosed with Cancer are tossed a knuckleball to our being. We have heard a death sentence. Some of usContinue reading “Thanks for wife and friends”

i met with an new doctor, to me, and received great news about my recent MRI! Simply put there is not any sign of Cancer in my Prostate!

The MRI on my Prostate was on the 31st of August, results were planned to be given to me on Sept 2nd but they were not ready. OK, given my metal hip I guess I can understand this. Maybe?

Down to one hand, in a manageable level, but unable to feel anything was disheartening. For 24 hours after getting cut lose from out patient the arm wasContinue reading “Testing the attitude”

My days are now full of “got to do things“. Like all people there is a time limitation for projects. Weather, seasons, materials, and the never ending time. The time limitation can be how much time it takes to do things or in my case now a hard and fast end time because of surgeryContinue reading “Life’s bumps and dips”

Before I share my thoughts on our lives today by posting a blog from my other site “My Odyssey with Cancers”, I would like to offer some insight on this Blog site and my decision to post much more often. I am of the age that is “at risk”, over 70. I also have aContinue reading “Almost too much to handle”

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. ActuallyContinue reading “Late to update because of Covid”
