Today is Thursday ... ALREADY! I am not sure where the time is going but the days are moving along at a quick pace. It seems being sick is a full time job.
Yesterday I had an appointment with my family doctor (Dr. G) to discuss the pros and cons of deciding on additional radiation therapy.
Sidebar: I am grateful for this guy because he noticed my climbing PSA levels. I also have Grave's Disease (a thyroid problem) and need blood work every 6 months or so to check the levels of TSH, T3 and T4 in my system (Gees, as I write this, it seems that I am a walking train wreck). It was during these visits that Dr. G noticed the increase in PSA levels and thus resulting in my visit to Dr. B (the Urologist).
I had a good discussion with Dr. G. He was recommending that I consider radiation therapy because of the high Gleason Score. If my score was under 7, he would recommend and watchful waiting attitude. That is, watch the PSA and if it starts to climb, then enter into radiation. The short term key is to do a number of PSA tests and see what the results are.
During all of this information reviewing, studying, praying, attending meetings and walking Max, I am finding that my days are becoming very full. I was really worried that I would not know what to do with my time, however, this is certainly not becoming a problem.
I might have to go back to work to slow down!
Me
P.S. I am praying for you Cecile ... hope all is well.
