There are so many of you hurting right now, in so many different ways. I just wanted you all to know, that even though I do not mention you by name, I am praying for you!
Also, I wanted to give you an update on Terry, since he had another doctor's appointmant last week. His PSA numbers are still down, but not dropping as rapidly as in the beginning of the hormone therapy, which is probably normal, because the number is now just below 4. (Down from 29) He is able to "live through" his hot flashes thanks to a once a day pill. But, he is dealing with a rash, and upon waking his hands are so swollen and sore, that it is hard for him to even turn off his alarm. In a couple of weeks he will see an oncologist about a treatment to retard cancer in the bones. Does he have cancer in the bones? I don't think so, as he has not had any recent scans, and I was not with him at his last appointment to ask "Why?" I WILL join him for the next appoinment! So to summarize, the hormone treatment is still doing its job, and he will seek one more treatment to retard his cancer. Thank you for all of your prayers! You all mean so much to me!
