Randy, you are quite the Ladies Man๐Ÿ˜Ž.

Congrats on 28 IMRTโ€™s. โ€œBeam Onโ€.

Remember McBride @ MSKCC asked me to wait 90 days for first PSA test because, he said, Beam Radiation kills off a lot of PCa cells, and dead and dying PCa cells give off quite a bit of PSA. He said it will only confuse everyone. So I waited 90 days, and my latest PSA was .008 ! So be patient my young grasshopper๐Ÿค“. Best of Luck for a great outcome. You get an A for effort. And another A for kindness. Aloha, Mike

On my last day I took a Sharpie and I had EVERY hospital employee sign my shirt as I met them that day. It was a great ending to a crappy situation (radiation treatment sucks).

Congrats, Randy! Hope your treatment is 100% successful! I bought my radiation crew 2# of fudge and gave them a thank you card with a personalized note that I wrote in it on my last day of 25 IMRT treatments. Don't be surprised if you have some urinary and bowel issues for a while now, or maybe not if you are lucky. ๐ŸฆŠ
