When I was dxed My Daughter was a freshman in HS, I then hoped to see her Graduate HS. Just last week she graduated from a 3 year graduate program as a school Psychologist, which was a total of 7 years of College.
First of congratulations to your Daughter its nice to see our younger generation making the world a better place, secondly Congratulations to you on your promises kept. I asked my Doctor a similar request my Grandchildren are my joy in life so I asked him to keep me alive to see them grow up and he said I promise. Best of luck to your Daughter and to you my friend.

Congratulations. I also have a son and saw him graduate last year.
When I got bad news 17 years ago with my diagnosis, I thought I would not make it 5 years. Grabbed lots of life packs with new drugs that came my way. I am still here.

PSA down to 22 hoping to see its below 6 by the second treatment in two weeks. Radiation 5 treatments concurrent knocked it down to 80, and one Chemo done Docetaxel, with ZOLADEX every 3 months. Pain management now under control.
My Eldest Grandson accepted at Uni of Massachusetts, Lowell on a full ride Ice Hockey scholarship. We are Canadian, from BC. He is on this months NHL Draft. So between completing a degree in Business Management2018- 2021, and starting his NHL careers, six teams showing considerable interest including Montreal, Boston, Tampa, Nashville, Colorado and LA Kings he has a good chance. At age 77 3/4 yrs I want to see him start and play in the NHL for at least Four years. So, as my moniker implies I’m looking forward to “more miles”.
