Just went back for my 4 month check up. PSA down to 1.38, blood pressure at 147/62 (lowest its been in a few years) and I lost 11 lbs. If you find the 11 lbs.,
I don't want them back. Give them to someone that needs them
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS AND PLEASE, MEN, IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO YET, GO GET YOUR PSA CHECKED

Re: Prayers needed--UPDATE
New Update--Went for testing today. Scans look good and PSA is down to 2.09. Praise the Lord. What a perfect Christmas gift he gave me. The doc said the PSA should continue to fall over the next few months as the radiation is still working in me. I go back for a final visit in April
Thank you everyone so much for your continued prayers. It means a lot to have so many people praying for you.

Re: Prayers needed--UPDATE
UPDATE
Today will be my last radiation treatment. Everything has gone as expected and recent scans look good. I will go back Dec. 22 for a followup and new PSA test. I feel certain it is gone (along with all of my energy ) and God has healed me.
I want to thank everyone for all of the prayers. It is very humbling to have as many people praying for you as I have had throughout this process and I know that God has heard those prayers.
Thank you all

Re: Prayers needed
UPDATE--I got the results from the biopsy back this morning and they are not good. Seems like I have Stage 2 prostate cancer. I am going to start radiation treatment on Monday. 5 days a week for 8 weeks. I won't need a night scope as I will be glowing. Makes for a good target though.
If the beam radiation doesn't work, they will implant radiation seeds. Woohoo, I become a radiation farmer.
Anyway, if that doesn't take care of it, they will remove the prostate. I guess thats how they harvest what grows from the seeds.
I have to joke about it or my wife will just bust out crying again. The doctor says that at this stage, there is a 90% survival rate. This is encouraging. I hope he is talking about me and not those blasted seeds.
All kidding aside, please send continued prayers but more so for my wife. She is having a very hard time dealing with this.

Prayers needed--UPDATE
I rarely ask for prayers for myself but feel I must this time.
I am going in on Monday to have biopsies done on my prostate. Doc found something he didn't like during normal exams and PSA is very high. I know I am in good hands no mater the outcome but a few prayers would help for sure.
Also pray for my wife as she is taking this very hard.
Thanks in advance
