I just found out that my prostate cancer has returned and seems to refuse to be cured.
Nearly 20 years ago I was diagnosed and opted for radioactive seed implants to kill the cancer in my prostate.
They did the trick, at least for 18 years.
But when I saw the PSA rise I had my urologist take a look.
I opted for cryotherapy to freeze the unwanted cancer cells on the prostate but after 3 months of healing from the surgery the PSA level has returned to it's higher than acceptable number.
This means the cancer is back and possible spreading.
I will have an Axion Pet Scan to determine the extent of the deadly threat and to see if it is still containable.
As a pessimist I will not bother to type my thoughts about that but I will emend this post in a week or so.
I am typing this to see if anyone actually reads the blog (again, as a pessimist I doubt it) and will comment or send me private messages of support or even good riddance.
Watch this space!
