It is hard to believe that it has been five years today since I stood there and looked at an X-ray of my lungs covered with spots as my Primary Care Physician shook his head and said I am very worried for you Mr. Seals. Although my official D.X. did not come for another 6 days I still see June 1 06 as the official Pca Birthday. Current stats P.S.A. 3.24 Not bad for a guy who was given a year to live. I know this disease is scary but we cannot give it power over our lives. Live Laugh Love and believe. Todd

Todd,

I'll go with Tony and make it a happy anniversary!

I beat you guys to 50, but 2 years and a bit to 60, so I'll use that for an objective smilewinkgrin

I'll have to dig for a date for my PCa B'day. It was all such a blur...

But it was just a week or so after the real B'day. What a present that year

Hi Todd,

Considering where you started this is indeed a red letter day! Your story is an inspiration and I wish you many more years of remission.

Thank all of you. I still feel like I am going to make it to 75. That is my goal

Todd, I hope you make it to 75 and beyond.  Every day is a gift.  And every tomorrow is worth fighting for.  Good luck to all of us.

Todd, Congratulations! Being a newbie here, I've only recently become acquainted with your story. If ever one needed to be inspired (and I did), needed a lesson in building faith (and I did), or needed to learn what is truely important in life (and I did) you are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story and know that you have had a very profound impact on the lives of many others. Thank you.

Wow!!!! I really dont know what to say. Thank all of you so much. You are all my inspiration. BillyMac, you are still around!!!! That"s so cool. I haven't been around much but I haven't seen your name in a long time. You guy's are all my friends. I hope to one day meet each and every one of you. Yes Tony you will beat me to 50. (you go girl)lol that is a race I dont mind losing but I agree with you. You dale and I should spend my 50th on the coast of somewhere beautiful. Cold Beer. Hot Sunshine. ----Cold Beer lol I think 100 is a great idea. My grampa just turned 91. I am not sure I want to live that long.
