Well, the time has finally come. All the tests and preparations are now
over. I am to arrive at Memorial Sloane Kettering Cancer Center at 8:30am
and my RRP is scheduled for noon. Can't say I'm glad to be going, I guess I
can say that I'm glad the waiting and accompaning anxiety is nearing an end.
I've been doing all I can to keep my mind off of the procedure. I spent a
glorious afternoon on my boat, fishing in the Atlantic with my wife and
daughter. Didn't catch a thing, but that doesn't matter. Hopefully, if all
goes well, I'll be back home by Father's Day. I'll post my results then.
Thanks to all of you in this great group for all your support.

I wish you well Sandy K. A couple of words to the guy upstairs too.
See you on the flip side.

Good luck, Sandy!
Will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Seems so long ago that I was going through the very same thing...
You'll be fine, I'm sure!
Please keep us posted!

This time tomorrow you'll be cancer free!
Remember, that catheter is your friend (and constant companion for a couple
of weeks).
Here's wishing you a complete cure and no side effects, just like I got.
And your numbers are better than mine.

Sandy:
Guess today is the big day for you. Hope all goes well both
with the operation and the post-op side effects.
Thank you.

I hope it all goes very well. Either way let us know. I am anxiously
watching things here. Haven't scheduled surgery yet but will in the next
month or so...Just trying to find the right Doc.
