C = Cured
On February 14 2007 Ruth and I headed to SoCal for an uncertain future. I had an advanced prostate cancer and it was time for action. Feb 16 surgery. And even through I was stage T3b, and had radiation in the coming months, and three years of years of chemical hormonal ablation, we moved ahead with hope. Folks as of today I am cancer free for 8 years. All tests this week came back perfect. My oncologist told me I do not need to reschedule any appointments if I wanted just add a PSA here and there. But because he is my friend and we work together in cancer research I told him "oh no you don't...I am keeping my 45 minute annual sessions so that I can corner you down and drag you along the way you have dragged me along". We had a great meeting discussing research and other issues in cancer. And he will be a presenter again soon for my groups.
Now where did I place my corkscrew?
