It’s in the books! March 10th 68th B-day.

Plus MO office labs visit + exciting Lupron 90d #3. PSA 1.032ng/mL vs 12/10 1.100ng/mL T lvl

< 10 or NIL(they say). Good news! Ok.

Dr A was gonna up my Abiraterone to 500mg per day; but after further review(like they say in NFL 🏈 there not playing now) he and pharmacist PHD Katie kept me at 250mg. 👍

Great news I think. I get a CT abdominal chest pelvis in 90 days. Plus a NM total body bone scan included. Bring it on.

Prednisone is energising and keeping me sleepless. Oh well, good SE.

Dr A just smiled when I showed so so much energy pacing the hallways and visit room.

June 8/9 SCAN time! And hotter outside.

Doing marvelous.

I did have a Cardioversion on Valentines day in my SCA hospital. 1st a T.E.E. Then one (1) shock to heart did it! NSR is a g o o d thing. In sync heart beating beats it all.
