Wow. I looked at the calendar, and realized that one week ago I had my one-year anniversary of diagnosis with this carppy disease (props to Sonny). During this past year I have had my dance with the robot, laid down with Lady Siemens (thirty two times!), received the Lupron harpoon twice (4 mos. dose each), grown a set of moobs, added twenty pounds, and lost most of my body hair.

But, I have seen a psa result of <0.01 four times, and will have blood drawn for a fifth next Monday. Today I completed construction of a gazebo in my back yard, ideal for a bandstand for our 50th wedding anniversary in 6 years from now. To honor this date, today I have thrown away my pee pad, and am going bare from here on. Tonight I raise my glass of two-buck Chuck and say to all of you – Here’s to Healing Well!

All the best.

ROB -
here's to an anniversary of survival and the fight - not the carppy disease that disrupted your life
- here's to many more zeros leading up to your 50th anniversary and many more past that ...
-wishing you and your wife all the best

Some of this journey is what you make it. How about we meet ten years from now and have a party !

Way to go Roger !

Roger,

Very happy for you and your family for the big zero. Twenty pounds can be lost, and heck you didnt need all that body hair. Not sure what to tell you about the moobs, except avoid banlon.  Drink that drink and dance the night away as you have earned it.

Hey Roger, I've been talking to Worried Guy about a summer GFMPH get together. Maybe SC would be fun !
