thank you everyone. i would buy you all multiple drinks if i could. yesterday's news was the best thing i could have been told. i would have been happy with lesser news. i did not expect .1 but in my heart it's really what i wanted to hear.
i have three very dear friends who are dying of cancer and a fourth who just had his bladder and prostate removed and his pathology recently came back not so great. as i walked out of the uro's office yesterday instead of thinking "why me?" I finally realized that i have been spared. why me indeed!
the news barely got a rise out of friends and family. a few didn't even bother to respond to my e-mail or text message. i took it the wrong way last night but this morning i'm thinking that maybe they already knew and i was the last to know. so i'm going cut everyone some slack.
nevertheless you all knew how important the news was to me and i knew i could count on you. that's what keeps me coming back!
when i was first diagnosed with cancer i remember i needed new socks but couldn't buy them until i had some assurance i would be around to wear them. and while i had very little stress around this PSA test i found myself unable to pull the trigger on a new camera i have been eyeing for some time as well as some shorts i want for this summer.
well the camera is sold out at the sale price but i'm feeling so good that maybe i'll pay a little more for that camera today!
thank you everyone.
