Yesterday
All continues to be calm here...anti-jinx, anti-jinx, anti-jinx. Happy appy, snuggles, basking in the sun (now that heating vent season is FINALLY over), feisty, pretty easy gelcapping. Anti-jinx again.
My Dad saw his BW from the Penn visit yesterday....everything looked great. Most interestingly - and overall I know very little about this subject - his PSA was down to 1. Last year, it was 8, which led to the biopsy which led to the prostate cancer diagnosis which led to the other tests that led to the gastric and rectal cancer diagnoses. I don't know his PSA history, but I assume it must have been rising for a while, and that's why they did the biopsy, etc, last year. I'm sure the PSA is like all the other "marker" tests - imperfect. But it is interesting that it dropped like that, especially since we were told that the protocol they used for the other two cancers would have no affect on the prostate cancer. Like Trix, he continues to be a medical anomaly. He continues to feel well.
Time to get myself moving for work....as usual, blech. Have a great day, L&LL!
