Did anyone notice?

The Grass is greener today.
The sky is bluer today.
The clouds are fluffierr today.
The flowers smell sweeter today.

I sent for the beginning of a 6.5 week EBRT on Friday PM (5/27), The
team was all there at the cancer center. Intros all around and getting
ready for the Dry Run. My oncologist was there asn just before I went
on the table I asked him if he'd seen the results of the PSA test I had
taken Wednesday. He had not looked so he went to review my paperwork,
In a couple of minutes he returned with a puzzled smile on his face. I
asked him, "What's up"? He said, "your PSA reading is now
'undetectable'" (officially < 0.1). No need for radiation, at least for
the time  being. He was puzzled because it's the first time (in a 35
year career) that he has seen the post op PSA go down (mine was 0.24
four weeks ago) He'll be talking with my Uro and we'll probably do
another one just to make sure.

I got off the table and went home with a big smile on my face. Last
night we partied!
