Mar 2022

My PSA started creeping up a few years ago, and in early 2020 my doc sent me for a closer look. A biopsy was done, a particularly pleasant experience , and a small bit of cancer was found. I went through a month and a half of radiation in late 2020 and just last week was given a clean bill of health; my last PSA was 0.8. The treatments wore me out pretty good, but the worst part was when they piped country music into the treatment room. I'm also glad to be in Canada; the only thing we had to pay for was parking and sometimes lunch.
