Plus a million on getting with a medical professional!

Mine went from a 3.8 to a 4.2 over the period of two years. Had the biopsy in August, Gleason of 7, had the surgery in September via the DaVinci robot. There was a 1" tumor confined to the inside my prostate, none had apparently escaped (LUCKY!!). My PSA is now less than 0.1 indicating a probable "cure." All of this was going on as I was recovering from a broken femur (two surgeries, 12 screws, 2 struts and a chunk of cadavar bone). That injury occured on June 28th. It certainly made for some uncomfortable months and made the prostate surgery seem like a walk in the park. 2010 was a tough year, but I'm advised that I can expect a complete recovery from both ailments. Like I said, I'm lucky. This was the first time in my life I had ever been ill, other than an occasional tummy ache or cold. So, I guess I paid my dues.

Next week we leave with our RV to S. CA & S. AZ for the rest of the winter with lots of bike riding and strengthing of my leg. Plan to ride the Cycle Salt Lake Century in May. Wish me luck...
