Re: Prayers needed--UPDATE #2

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 :biggrinjester:

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 :mrgreen: ) 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
