Just had a phone call from cancer nurse - first PSA was 140 - this one is
0.3
Is that good one - or not?
Kidneys & Calcium fine but Liver showing raised Gamma-GT. What's Gamma GT?

Looks good to me, if accurate.
But does it help your bone pain?

Part of liver function tests. This one show's you've been drinking.

Bone pain - hard to say with me experimenting with lower doses Morphine.
Oops! - knew I'd get caught - had been a bit heavy on the whisky the four
nights previous to the bloods taken.

I don't recall the percentages, but I do recall that if it falls to a number
greater than 2.0, that's not good, if it falls to a number less than 2.0
that is good, and if it falls to less than 1.0 that's really good.  I think
there was a milestone of less that 0.10, but that would have been just this
side of miraculous.

Congratulations.  Looks like you have more time to indulge IP's palate.

That sounds very good indeed.  I am happy to know that I'll likely be
reading your recipes for a logn time.
