"Today is one year ago I had the robotic prostatectomy that removed the low-risk cancer and for now I am still cancer free. I still go to the bathroom every now and then and once in a while I stream in two directions when I pee. Good news, though that I only pee and that's it -- no leaking. I still wear the depends and now with the coronavirus situation and doctors only taking phone call appointment, I still want to know if I am still cancer free. But with no doctor-patient appointment with my urologist for the time being, I want to also know if my PSA is still low. My rescheduled appointment in on June 4th, but I may need to reschedule again if we are still needed to stay safe. As far as being cancer-free, I am still safe from the virus by wearing a mask at work, home (most of the time) and essential places that I need to go for groceries and laundry. I continue to wash my hands frequently for 20 seconds along with covering my mouth when I cough and sneeze. The only social distance I do is by phone, social media like this one and to be six feet apart from people, which is not easy, but I manage somehow. So that's it. The anniversary of my prostatectomy. Stay safe everyone."
