third time s a charm third time s a charm dave from connecticut usa wednesday january 5 2022 it s going to be a long spring well it s been a whirlwind of tests calls from doctors visits and planning i ve had a bone scan negative to see if the cancer spread into my bones and a ct scan to see if it spread in my body again negative they gave me 3 choices of what i could do 1 nothing hope for the best and maybe have 10 years of good life 2 surgery to remove the prostate this comes with many possible side effects and after effects which i wasn t happy with 3 radiation therapy 38 radiation treatments over 6 weeks the side effects are way less than with surgery it takes longer and when i asked the doctor which plan he d choose after i had already made my decision he said 3 for sure which is what i decided to do so i then asked i have a vacation cruise scheduled for the end of february should i cancel now to which the doctor said absolutely not with other things we have to do before radiation starts and the backlog at the hospital not to mention how extremely slowly prostate cancer spreads we ll do the radiation therapy when i get back so there s a few things i have to do in february including a pre op because they are going to insert 3 markers in on my prostate for the radiation more on this later and a biodegradable sponge to move the prostate away from something else missed what that was the markers are for the radiation machine that has a small ct scan built in to note exactly where to shoot the radiation so as to not hurt anything good in there the treatments will be 5 days a week over a 6 week period and work has already determined that i d be fine working from home for those weeks have i mentioned i have an outstanding boss i m very very lucky well more as it comes keep those thoughts and prayers coming thanks dave posted by dave 0 comments friday december 10 2021 when it rains it pours well on the 2nd anniversary of my heart surgery i had to go in for a prostate biopsy as my psa numbers were quite high 2 weeks later i learn i have intermediate prostate cancer cancer the c word i m beyond scared at this point and will learn later today what all this means and how they ll treat it already i have 2 more tests coming up next week to see if it s spread i m definitely losing sleep over this and trying to not show anything as my wife s had enough to deal with that i hate burdening her with this more as i find out thanks dave posted by dave 0 comments thursday august 6 2020 time flies part ii well it s now been roughly 9 months since my surgery and i m feeling great i had a cardiologist appointment last week and he said i was doing real well lost weight bp is down and i don t have to see him again for a year that s good news i m still waiting for covid to calm down to continue out cardio rehab my wife s doing real well too her hair is growing back quickly although very curly which is driving her nuts but she s feeling well she does however drive me crazy by wanting to do too much we re both getting older and need to pace ourselves lest we get into other problems i try to keep us both safe on the flip side our son mike is having health issues and at 35 is way too young for this he s stubborn obstinate and real hard to deal with most of the time and he s driving us crazy gwen and i have stayed home through all this corona stuff with our daughter getting our groceries for us so we don t have to go into crowded stores thank god for her we have gone to her and her husband s house to see our granddaughter and to swim in their pool but pretty much nowhere else our granddaughter is now 5 and growing like a weed we were supposed to take them all to disney world in july but had to cancel and we re booked for next july well enough for now got to run thanks for reading dave posted by dave 2 comments tuesday february 11 2020 time flies when wow has it really been 7 years since my last post so much has happened our daughter got married to a truly wonderful guy a few years later our first grandchild was born julia who is the sunshine in our lives now with the good comes the bad my wife gwen got diagnosed with cancer the good news was her oncologist said to us if you had to get cancer this is the one to get because it s 100 curable i promised my wife i d be with her every step of the way until she was cured so the night my wife had an operation to have a small tumor removed i went home and when i went to bed that evening i had severe chest pains i thought it might have been what i ate as the pain was directly in my sternum and my right shoulder turns out it was what my doctor called a silent heart attack from that day forward if i exerted myself at all i was getting chest pains i went for test after test while taking my wife to chemotherapy my doctors said i had a blockage something i had been telling them since day 1 and they d do the procedure to insert a stent just a few minutes into that procedure they stopped and said that wouldn t work as i had 3 blockages and each one was 90 blocked they said i d have to have a triple bypass was i scared on a scale of 1 10 i was a 50 all kinds of things went through my mind i was hoping to have it put off until after my wife finished her chemo but the doctor said are you kidding we want to do this next week it was that bad so 2 days before thanksgiving november 26 2019 i had my triple bypass i was scared out of my mind i didn t want to leave my wife alone i wanted to see my granddaughter grow up i woke up after surgery to hear my wife s voice her and my daughter were there for the few minutes that i was awake the next time i woke up a wonderful nurse named tim that was outstanding he calmed me answered every one of my questions stayed with me talked to me he was just great i was in the hospital for 4 days going home on the 5th day recovery was tough as i was sore as heck note since the surgery i hadn t really had any pain just discomfort luckily gwen works from home so she was there every day and our daughter helped out by getting us groceries prescriptions and everything else oh at that time my wife wasn t driving as she had a couple of episodes on weekends of passing out there was some problems with blood pressure medications they had her on and that s fixed now with the help of our daughter and my wife s niece she s completed her chemo and is now cancer free i felt bad about not being able to go to the last 3 treatments she had but i had a good reason so after a lot of recuperating i m going to cardiac rehab which is like going to the gym but you wear a monitor i have to do about 36 sessions of them and i get real sore right after them oh well anything to get better more soon posted by dave 0
