Prostate Cancer-Free: Me

Image
As of 1.20.20, my oncologist has diagnosed me as "cancer-free" with my PSA level being 0.16 ( down from 5.8). My Gleason Score remains a 9, however, since I am still a "risk" for the disease, and I will still have to take a hormone shot called Elegard and another called Prolia to help support my skeletal structure being that the hormone shot has a weakening effect on the bones. I have to take those every three months. There are  some side effects from the hormone shot, but so far I have not expressed a desire to shop at Victoria's Secret or dress in Dondra's underwear.😜 So for now, life goes on. I thank my friends and family for the get well wishes and prayers, and since I was always happiest playing my drums, I plan to get them out of the closet and play along to some classic rock music. Thanks Bill

So if you'd like to think of it that way with me, we all began our new orbit at 12:00:01 today, January 1st. I wish all of you, dear readers, a happy and successful New Year and I hope those of us who live in America will join in whatever way is possible, to fix our broken country. Hate crimes, mostly of a religious nature have become the rule rather than the exception and this needs to stop. Be that as it may, one of the good   things of 2019. is pictured below. I hope you'll forgive a great-grandfather's pride in the showing of one more photo. In closing, for 2020, I&#
