Biker back again.

lHey gang, I post my progress here because this is where I started in 2006. The high points are in my signature. Any progress with recovery has been due to surgeons and support from fellows and ladies like you. After Pca dx I came to this forum and with shaky fingers and asked what to do. And boy, did I get answers! The best ones came from a couple of ladies with whom I still keep up. They have been there with me for 11 years. Some of you old folks that occasionally lurk will surely remember Bluebird and Swimom.

So MaryLu and I are on another cancer wait and watch. Those two ladies are there with us. We live one day at a time. We will face the bad times and live out the good times.

My best to all of you for the good days.

With cancer, patience is essential, attitude is everything.

Jim

Nice of you to stop bye. Glad things are going well.

Hi Biker,

This is such rotten news, dear man. I hope you can get the best help and support and are recovering from your surgery. I too remember the wonderful angels Bluebird and Swimom. Both were wonderful to me and I desperately owe dear Bluebird an email myself. Swimom gave me information I still use and remember. I hope she and her loved ones are well. The Mods these days are just as helpful and thorough - so keep posting Jim. You always made such a valuable contribution. My hubby sends his best. He is well and 10 years down the track - nearly 60 still working on cars. You and ML are in my prayers Biker.
Take care and rest up. Kind regards, Lana

Creed_three (Lana) - with husband "CJ" now aged 59 yrs (49 years at diagnosis). open Radical Prostatectomy with nerve sparing April 2007 Sydney, Australia. Gleeson 3 + 4 = 7. Current PSA (Feb 2017) 0.03 (stable for 10 years)

Here's to the surgery nailing all the little blighters Jim. Keep up your positive attitude for it has served you well in the past. I see a few of the Healingwell "ol' timers" have chimed in as well. What a great club!
Kind regards,
Bill.
