Yesterday "A" and I went to my appointment at the Allan Blair Cancer Clinic in Regina. One thing that I have found in common with the Cancer Clinic's is that everyone who works at these care giving places are wonderful. I can feel their warmth and understanding. It certainly provides me hope for the future!
Not much happened at my session yesterday, just a get to know one another and physical exam to establish baseline data. One major difference though ... my new Radiation Oncologist is a woman. So have a DRE was a "new treat" so to speak. I thought the 6 inch scar on my mid section would have convinced this great lady that I no longer had a prostate to feel, however, she wanted to make sure. I think that is a good medicine.
Therefore the next steps are fairly straightforward; PSA blood work every 3 to 4 months. Next meeting with Dr. V will be in early April 2008, although I will probably get my family doctor to do a blood test before then.
This has been a very good year. I think I should get working on my Christmas letter. This weekend I will solicit the help of my grandson's.
