Well, I went back to work this week,and boy all my muscles are pissed shocked It's been almost 8 months since I worked last and you get soft real fast. Looks like work will last for 3 months at least and that will help with insurance and getting a little cash flow turn
I had my PSA test last week and it dropped from 0.26 to 0.08 in 4 weeks so things are looking not so bad right now. Next test is in August, so I can enjoy the summer a little more. Right now I'm a pretty happy man yeah

Thats an interesting post-op psa sequence. Ive never seen one here go from that high, reletively, to that low post op, wonder if 1st one was lab error. anyway thats great news, bet you wern't expecting that. Actually I think Sephies husband had that happen, they were all set to go srt route. So you never know!!

Just why exactly would you do that unless it was a scam?

Cancer Doctor? Don't you mean Oncologist? By the way, what kind are you?

Hey Slink

Remember:
Righty, tighty; Lefty loosey.
And don't smash the numbnuts who welcome you back by saying you got the "good cancer".
They mean well. Honest.
Jeff

slink,

Thanks guys! It felt good and bad going back to work. Gives me some sense of self worth.
Logo, my wife and I were completely shocked at the test results. We thought for sure it went up and was all set for SRT. From a 49.9 at surgery to 0.08 in 12 weeks almost made me cry!
Jeff, I am not as thin skinned about it as I was at Dx. It's amazing how much you learn to accept what is happening to you and that you learn how to roll with the punches and just push on. Not much righty- tighty going on because most of this work is Vic work, but still schd.40!
John' the weather here is not allowing for much riding yet,seems it rains almost every day. The scoot is sitting here at home with no fluids in it and in need of a good cleaning. Which both things will be completed this week for sure. We are doing a little grill out to celebrate with some friends this weekend and the honey do list must be completed before then!!!!
Purg, you are my man!!! I am rooting for you big time!!!! You have always seemed to be here when I needed some one to talk to or just vent. Thank You!!!
I wish I would have found this place before surgery, but it has helped me so much after. The people here are amazing!!!!
