Fortunately not a lot to update and that is a good thing. I met with my doctors and I was told that I was doing better than average especially given that I am having minimal side effects thus far. Your prayers and well wishes are clearly working. I even got to skip my weekly blood draw another good thing since I hate needles. So keep those positive vibes coming my way and I will keep my fingers crossed that on the remaining treatments I don't develop any new side effects.
As February approaches, my sights are set now on my last day of treatment, February 17. I can see and feel a degree of finality for this phase of the treatment process. Since cancer cells do not die immediately after treatment there is a 90 day period to allow the radiation to do its thing. Then I am checked at 90 day intervals twice. Then that shifts to a 6 month check and then I come back in 2 years to make sure my PSA level is going in the right direction. Given my early detection and the minute nature of the cancer cells, I should be OK.
