Hi,
Sorry for not being around too often, I guess its a good sign about letting go of the cancer fight. I do feel for everyone just diagnosed and waiting for a procedure and the long time veterans fighting this.
I just had my 2 year PSA work and still undetectable. The doctor had me do also a colonoscopy at 45, as I guess we are all higher risk for colon cancer. They found 5 polyps, rather large but seem benign. Will have the autopsy results next week.
Best wishes to everyone
