Well it has been 2 years since my last treatment. (the actual anniverary date is February 18 to be exact) I had my second annual exam on Friday January 14, 2011. Annual exams are a little more involved. I approached the day with some anxiety thinking about the needles and the other elements of this full-on examination. But I am very happy to inform you that all went well. My PSA level dropped an impressive .28 points to .52!! The "normal" range is from 1.00 to 4.00. But for Black and Brown males a number above 2.00 is worthy of closer scruntiny. I will not bore you with the medical controversy that surround the PSA numbering measuring data.
Anyway, hearing the excellent news of my continual downward trend was very exciting and emotional for me. I had thoughts of how far I have come and all of the mile markers I have encountered during my journey. I am still basking in the glow of the wonderful news on Friday. That said, I am more than happy that my blessings continue and thanks for your support and prayers. One more exam in July and then hopefully I will be on an annual schedule. The goal is to reach my minimum level and establish that number as my benchmark for annual exams and then progress to a two year exam cycle. I am out..... and off to celebrate at a golf course!!!
Peace out until July!!
