Well, guys it's been 15 months since the brachytherapy. For those who don't
know there were 5 weeks of external beam radiation prior to the brachy. The
PSA is .17 (That's point one seven!!!) Yep, we are excited.

I was on the playground today with the kids looking at my watch and thinking
he's in the doctor's office. OMG!! What if the PSA went up? Would my husband
be the doctor's first failure in 14 years? I'm thinking I can't go there.
What would we do? What would they try next? Hormones? Would they try more
radiation? What's the max for radiation dosage? Salvage surgery? I can't
think like this. I can't lose him.

But about two hours later he came to school and pulled a sheet of paper out
of his pocket. He had written down all the important stuff on it. He had
that little boy smile on his face that said he passed his test and he read
the results to me. .17 I just wanted to throw my arms around him and hug
him. His comment was "I knew everything was going to be fine". He had a very
clean bill of health. They want to do a routine check on the colon and
screen for colon cancer, so they gave him another appointment. But all of
his blood work was fine. And they gave him a pneumonia shot because of his
past lung problem. (He had a staph infection in his lungs which did some
damage.) But everything was just fine.

I'm so happy. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
