Got my PSA test results today: 0.4

and finally convinced the cancer monitoring team, that it's been more than five years, so please stop calling me every six months. They've confirmed I am (and should have been) on the annual testing list.

Party! Bring beer and a poem to read.

Laying in bed
It’s late at night,
Logged intoHealingwell,
And what a sight.

Was motivated to rhyme
Against my time
What could this be?
Freedom from bind?

It is a gift,
When adrift,
To hear someone’s song
For which I longed.



Congrats to you intheshop.

Wonderful results. 👍😊

Such beautiful news, Andrew. Point four indeed.

And since you asked for poems in return, the best I can do is quote someone else’s, W.S. Merwin’s “Term”:

At the last minute a word is waiting
not heard that way before and not to be
repeated or ever be remembered
one that always had been a household word
used in speaking of the ordinary
everyday recurrences of living
not newly chosen or long considered
or a matter for comment afterward
who would ever have thought it was the one
saying itself from the beginning through
all its uses and circumstances to
utter at last that meaning of its own
for which it had long been the only word
though it seems now that any word would do

Thanks for the great poems and kind words.

I'm feeling fortunate to have gotten this far with minimal side effects and no recurrence.

Peace,

Andrew,
Great news/results, congrats! And going to 1 year, YAY! They still have me on 3 months, but after my last one(4/10/19), they did not arrange for the next one, said they would call me for an appointment. They haven't called. Yes, I know I should probably call them to st up a test, but I have not yet.

Awesome news Andrew! Could not happen to a nicer guy on here!

Excellent, Andrew! Yearly sounds outstanding.

There are a couple of guys around here who think monthly uPSA tests help....hard to imagine.
