thank you everyone! I really appreciate all the support. I could have gotten my results last week and was tempted to but as usual my wife met me at the doctor's office and we faced the doctor together.
I am really grateful to my doctor for steering me away from surgery and towards combination treatment. my doctor does open surgery and his partner is a pretty well known robotic surgeon. I remember him telling me that if I did want surgery he would guarantee me that I wouldn't be pissing my pants the rest of my life. when we went for the consultation four years ago my wife and I "just wanted the cancer out" but we left with a different plan.
he had a surprise for me yesterday -- my doc was accompanied by a beautiful young intern who reminded me of a younger, prettier and more petite version of Danica Patrick who stayed in the room for the DRE. a few years ago I would have had a major problem with that but we've been through so much since then, haven't we?
I don't drink but if I could I would buy you all a few rounds. I'm relieved and now it's time to start planning a few trips! thanks everyone!
