Such wonderful news! Way to go and congrats on the new car! Undetectible is such a NICE word . . . especially when it comes to a PSA. Like my cousin said . . .first time he's been thrilled with ZERO on a test!!

Bob also takes Hydroxyurea to control Polycythemia (elevated red & white cells & platelets) has secondary condition . . Myelofibrosis) -- If anyone has experience or knowledge of these, please post us.

 Ellen & Curtis,

AWESOME!  The next words that I want to hear are "Non Detect" when I have my first PSA check on the 18th.  My wife and I will celebrate but not with a new car but we are going shopping.  That is what it is all about - Winning over the cancer monster.

Thanks everyone for your great letters!!  It's wonderful to have so many friends rooting for us!!  We feel really blessed to have found this site and so many wonderful people.

Blue and Spin,

I'd love to have a vette, but at my age would probably have an awful time getting back out of it.    We bought a 2006 Ford Explorer...nice and big and roomy and much easier to get into than a vette..

Thanks again for all the wonderful letters!!
