Tested Positive Today

Some wise sage from this forum once said that looking for positives in your life rather than the negatives have as much influence on a better outcome for PC as drugs.
This got me thinking, am I someone who dwells on the negative issues in my life or celebrates the positives?

The negative parts I will ignore for now but these are some of the more positive situations in my life that have happened since the day in April 24/13 when my Uro threw me up on the slab and ripped out that bag of fish bait which ended up giving me a “intermediate-unfavourable” outcome as 1 lymph node had a small lesion. There is no cure.

1) my urine flow changed from dribbles to a torrent overnight
2)sex life changed from good to better over time due to some adaptation and cialis.
3) I became more focused in daily physical activities knowing that dealing with this cancer long term would require having a stronger healthier body
4) tried to have as much family time as would be normal
5) listened to my uro when he suggested that I sign up with a PSMA trial when my psa was at 1.17.
6) listened to another uro who recommended RT to prostate bed and 2 hot lymph nodes over 3 years ago.
7) celebrated another great 5 1/2 month ski season
8) planning to go back to red rock country in our travel trailer for a month of MTB and hiking-as we wait for contractors to finish our new home up the mountain .
9) get to see a good surgeon who will plan to replace a deteriorating hip and repair a torn meniscus in an opposite knee.
10) latest psa is <.04 which has been like this for the last 3 years and
1 point short of the 400 testosterone club a steady increase since ADT and RT.

So, according to my own biased self testing, guess I’m positive.

How about you?

Always better to be positive Dave. And congrats on that point #10
