Sue, You are right on, most people couldn't relate to that high of a PSA. I do want to mention, that my hubby has had multiple blood transfusions because his blood count was low. They do help! He...
Radsgrrl22, Awful to see another in pain and yet we do. I've said often enough this is truly a roller coaster ride. One minute it's okay the next you are at ER which is not a good place because they...
