Empathizing and Listening to learn

[Masonsdad]

I had brain surgery in '94&'95, hemorrhage, coma, much damage. relearned to walk, talk etc. Etc. loss, of sensation, communication skills etc.

Always fight, but this prostate cancer is new. Diagnosed w/ gleason9 in jan 2019, prostatectomy in april 2019, PSA .07 JULY 2019, .02 in oct 2019, .02 in jan 2020. Will check again this week.

Hope to read from others, typing on this mobile difficult. I lost 50 lbs this yr from discontinuing sugar. I Read today that saccherine has potential for anti cancer in future applications. Just sharing, hope to read from others in the future. Thanks

Started this journey at 67 also. Now 70. I seem to be going ok. Your Psa sounds great! Great job of losing weight. Don't like diet anything, but have always been skinny. Considering what you've been through already, I'm thinking you will handle this with ease.

[Masonsdad in reply to monte1111]

Thanks, everything was removed with good margins, but some had gotten to a seminal vesical. Appt fri to talk about whats next. @ 3 yrs hope everything is going well for you! Seventy sounds a lot better than it used to. I have a 91 yr old mom. Kinda funny when she complains, she may around when im gone, but we all want to be around as long as possible, huh, take care.

Actually we never want to outlive our children...... Give your mom my best regards.... (and to you too). I spent 6 months working in Raleigh... used to jog (those days are over) on Capital boulevard......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

I can sympathize, also had brain surgery in 91 and had to learn to walk again and wait for half my eyesight to come back. Still missing use of an arm. The APC is just another fight to survive. Been fighting it 2 years now and getting good results. Everyone in this group have helped me fight and given me hope.

[Masonsdad in reply to michael00]

I admire you, glad we can relate glad for your apc results, maybe i can get some good results, thanks for the encouragement
