Prostate Cancer Journey

I WAS WILD AND FREE. JUST COULDNT PEE. THEN COULNT STOP PEEING AND IT HURT IF I DID OR COULDN'T PEE. HAD A BIOPSY AND HEARD THE WORD CANCER......PEEING. WAS GETTING TO BE A MAJOR PAIN AND EMBARRASSMENT. HAD A TURP AND THE PIPES CLEARED UP PRETTY WELL. TOO WELL HALF THE TIME MOST DAYS. I TOOK A BREAK FOR A TIME TO WRAP THIS CANCER THING AROUND MY BRAIN. 3 0R 4 DOCTORS LATER, I FOUND ONE WITH PERIODICALLY I THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITH. MASSIVE RADIATION AND THEN 18 MONTHS OF LUPRON. RADIATION NO PROBLEM...CAN OF CORN! LUPRON WAS PURE HELL FROM THE START TO THE FINISH, BUT FINISH I DID. MY LIFE IS GOOD ALMOST SOMEWHAT NORMAL. MY PSA IS UNDETECTABLE {SO FAR} THAT'S ABOUT AS TECCY AS IM GOING TO GET. I KNOW ITS STILL THERE SOMEWHERE. I JUST GOING TO BE GRATEFUL FOR TODAY IM OK AND SOMEHOW MY WIFE IS STILL WITH ME. I LOVE THAT WOMAN WITH ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU!!!
