Well, my RRP was last Tuesday: back home Thursday night: have come to a
tolerable understanding with my new pal, Mr. Foley: making a VERY smooth
recovery: 19 staples will come out today. I hope to see my pathology
report today, even though I won't have a chat with my surgeon until next
week when he takes out my cath. I can hardly thank all you wonderful
souls here enough for the wealth of knowledge and info and enlightenment
to this new chapter of life for me. I've been reading posts from 2003 to
today in my quest for more understanding and the existance of this group
has the single most important lantern in showing me the pathways and
forks in the road we're traveling.
Thank you.
Wishing you all lower PSAs,
Z

====> hi zoom - glad you made it through the RP in flying colors.

you forgot to mention that the best view was the hospital...... as you
were leaving it and heading home.  i still remember how wonderful it
felt to know that it was over.

it only gets better from here.......

and soon, that mountain in your life will turn into nothing more than a
speed bump.

all the best,

Glad to hear you're doing well.  Yeah, no one likes the tube.

Sorry to see that positive margin.  If you allow it, the thought of it will
gnaw at you for a long time.  Surgeon or Onc may even recommend RT in six
months.  I hate making those kinds of decisions.

Take care of yourself, Zoom.  No sense in rushing things.

Good luck!
