I've been busy this week doing as much as possible to get the IMRT set
up.  Making calls during the day, searching the web at night.
Today, in a response to my Tuesday's email requesting the scheduling
of the ProstaScint and then the IMRT I received the following message

Sir Richard Peto, who presented findings analyning evidence from 40

hi folks - i don't pertain to even begin to have the knowledge of

Last night my wife and I went to the Emmy awards courtesy of our son

it appears that almost to the minute, each time during an hour, that i
get hit with a bunch of virus messages that jammed my mailbox full and
after i clear them out.  it will stay that way until the next attack
hits.

I have not posted in a while.  My last posting was the good news about
John's post-op PSA.  I am being cautiously optimistic about this since

My father-in-law has a PSA now of over 72; I'm trying to support my wife as
she copes with this, but I really have no good feel for how bad this bad
really is?  Her father has been dealing with prostate cancer for many years,
but it's risen from 6 to 72 in one year.

Viruses can be just annoying, destructive and costly. I've read these posts,
particularly those from Heather, and I've posted a few replies.
Like everyone these days, I get a lot of spam. In the past 10-12 ...

Hi all.......(and thank you JK for asking about Ron)
Ron is now finished with 25 radiation treatments as of yesterday.  He
did extremely well in that he had only one minimal side effect.  And the
