Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all doing okay. We have been pretty busy. We got a new kitten and recently found out we have another grandchild on the way!!!!! Our daughter is expecting her 2nd baby on Rick's next birthday Yea!!!!

We saw Ricks oncologist today and she said the PSA was 0.3 on 1-31-2008. I asked her to give me the number in terms of pennies she said 30 pennies. On 11-30-2007 the reading was 0.12 the doctor said 12 pennies. How can 0.3 be 30 pennies if 0.12 is only 12 pennies???? I never did good in math and I am confused on this one. Please help if you can.

Thanks

Diana

WONDERFUL!!! A baby for gramps and grandma! Also a kitten. We have 4 cats and a dog and a grand puppy! They're together tonight plum tuckered out. Sleepin by me feet.

Diana,
You are just the most wonderful lady. The math stuff isn't too hard. When you put the dot in there you can add as many zeros at the end as you like. 0.3 is the same as 0.30. so 0.30 is thirty pennies and 0.12 is twelve pennies. My part here is to have you guys ask if a little Lupron is enough to tolerate to see that baby's 5th birthday. Or 10th! Well, I won't wear it out. You and I have communicated this between us. Love you guys and hope the baby, and the kitten, are doing well.

May God always shine in your hearts...
