0.0, Very cool

The last PSA was 0.0... So the aggressive prostate cancer is technically in remission. WooHoo!!!!,
Great news

So here's what I ask of all of you following my blog.
Go find a loved one, a father, brother, cousin, uncle, boyfriend, stubborn husband :)
Co-worker....you get the drift....RAISE AWARENESS People!!!!

Please help me raise awareness

Thank U

vacation mode

the family took a long weekend over the 4th....I should have taken the entire week off.
having trouble getting back in the swing of things

kickinPC

Went in for my quarterly appointment with my Oncologist on Tuesday of this week.
Blood test, PSA, conversation with Dr. Reza...all went went.

today, phone call from Alison, Dr. Reza's nurse.

PSA = 0.0

Yeah baby....KickinPC!!! The words "cancer is in remission" are music to my ears

Now tell a friend, raise awareness, let's go find a cure

US Open Golf this weekend

How can you not root for Phil Mickelson? The guy has finished 2nd a record 5 times and given that the tourney ends on father's day, he's a big family man, so I'll be pulling for him to get past 2nd and to add this major to his resume.

The US Open, our national championship, most likely the toughest major of the four from a course setup standpoint, is going to be wide open this year where 1 of 60-70 guys could win.

It all starts Thursday.

Enjoy!

good news

last week I went in for a check up (so I could go to Summer camp for Scouts) and they took a PSA.
It came back "less than .01"

Woo Hoo!

I'm off to see my Oncologist today for my quarterly check up....should be a good visit.

KickinPC - Kicking Prostate Cancer.....all the way to curb, down the street and out of the neighborhood.

Do your part, tell a friend about my battle and go get your PSA checked if you're over 40, you'll be glad you did

getting nervous

My last Lupron shot was in December....in meeting with my Oncologist, Dr. Reza, he opted to not give me a shot in March. At the time, I was riding a winning streak of 5 straight quarterly PSA scores of "less than 0.01" which means the Hormone Ablation was working.

Cancer is in remission.

Next week, 6/14 I go back in for my first PSA since being off Lupron. I'm still taking Casodex which is the second hormone ablation drug we used to beat the cancer into remission.

I have to admit, I'm a little nervous about how the test will turn out. I remember my friend Rana telling me that for years she felt nervousness when going in for regular tests....and they all turned out fine as she's a 10+ yr Breast Cancer survivor.

I'm sure everything will be fine.

more later

day by day, feeling more normal

It's been 5 months since my last shot of Lupron and I can start to feel my body getting back to 'normal' or should I say pre-hormrone treatment (my wife would argue I was ever normal :))

Next visit to the oncologist is June 14 for the all important PSA check. I'm feeling good about it.

On a side note, if you're like me, your heart just aches for the folks in Joplin, MO and the other communities devastated by the devastating tornadoes. I need to find a way to best help my fellow man/woman/child, even though I don't know them....some day I may need help too.
Think about what you can do

Make every day great!
