Sleepless in Rochester: followup
https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...s-in-Rochester
So I got my Biopsy report today.........negative for Prostate Cancer!!
Phew!!!
The Urinalysis showed a few atypical cells so I have to pee in a cup again next week, hopefully nothing will come of that. I'm now on a six month Blood work schedule to monitor my PSA levels for any fluctuations.
I really want to thank you all for your sincere concern and support. I was terrified just fearing the possibilities. As for those of you who have actually had a Cancer diagnosis, I can't even begin to imagine how you dealt with it! The mental and physical battle must be horrific!
Again, thank you all for your support and good wishes.
Now, where did I leave that bicycle at?

Hope you finally get some well-deserved sleep this weekend Cranky!!
I haven't read Bobthib's update on Tyler, but if it made qcpmsame's whole week, then it must be real good, so +1 from me too!

Well done, Lenny!!!
Even with a happy ending, incidents like this have a way of focusing one's attention on the reality that the time we have to do the stuff we want to do is not unlimited -- i.e., a reminder that we might as well go out and do a whole bunch of riding while we can... which I hope you will. Come to think of it, I'm gonna go hit the road myself this morning!
