thanks kmclark1 for the post-
remarkable numbers and outcome for a pretty rough first diagnosis in the met PCa category. I am convinced that a good attitude helps as much as anything in keeping the beast at bay, and your experience, your sharing of it, helps us all to remember that.
It continually amazes me how life is just a little bit sweeter each day now, having passed through the needle-eye of diagnosis, fear and despair over six months ago- I know it is coming someday, but not today for sure, so I get another opportunity to be a better person, to learn some new things, to hug my kids and watch them starting their families, to cook for my wife and welcome her home each night, to make some more music.
I was doing all of that before diagnosis, but not with the passion I feel now, so easy to gin up when I pause to think about how much I value those things, pulling myself away from internal reveries that offer nought but sadness for myself. Not always so easy, but it seems to get easier each day due to habituation I expect.
The secret blessing of a PCa diagnosis. I am glad you found yours, kmclark1, and thank you for sharing it with us.
