THANK TO ALL

A big thank you to all the brothers for the warm welcome, as I replied to Metungboy I work in a small town hospital, and of coarse we are all pretty close to one another as we all eat at the same restaurants and shop at the same stores, camp and play in the same woods and lakes. I first went to Phoenix to the Mayo for some tests and a physician but with the help from one of our surgeons I found a great oncologist within 60 miles of home as to 200 miles to Phoenix, I'm not sure if it mattered being a friend of a friend but our first visit lasted over 2 hours as he went over all my test results bone scans, biopsies and future options, also he made sure to include my wife in this entire process and that was greatly appreciated by myself and my wife, he is actively involved in several research projects and is well published in the field of genetic research. As stated in my first post I am ramping up my fitness program to help combat the side affects of treatment, and with this too its great to have such great friends, two of whom are physical therapists with one being a fellow gear head like myself, and also my wife is a former gymnast and dancer that owned a teaching gym for many years, so I think it is safe to say I have that field of fitness covered, and now I have this brotherhood with you all, so again thank you all for your thoughts and support.

You make me jealous. The great thing is that you are starting fit and positive. I grew more positive as my treatment progressed and drew upon the more positive aspects of the guys on this site so am now able to act as a one to one mentor and in PCa groups. Again thanks to my brothers. All the best.

A positive mind is a powerful thing. Sounds like you have that one covered too. You will do great!
