Friends and Family,
Happy Memorial Day to ALL. First of all I will take this opportunity to thank ALL the men and women who serve and have served our nation, many giving up their futures to insure that we have a future. Thank you ALL and may God bless you.
Me, I am doing well. Things are working very well I think and I am gaining more and more bladder control everyday. Yesterday I did not leave the beach soon enough to make it home in time to use the bathroom, it was the first episode in a long, long time. Why you ask did I not just go in the water.....I had twice before but did not want to get wet again at this time of the day....that didn't exactly work out for me either. I know I need to continue doing my kagel exercises and am certain that too will help with my control.
Erectile function has seemed to have plateaued....if that is even a medical condition? I may need to increase the dosage of medications or may require other therapies. I suspect that will be a topic of discussion during the next doctor's visit!
I have missed yet another meeting of the Prostate Cancer Support Group in Mooresville. It seems that something always comes up the last week of the month for me. I support it 100% and regret that I have not made a meeting since my first one. I encourage everyone dealing with prostate cancer, patients and families to find and participate in a support group. Check with your doctor for information about possible groups in your area.
Thank you all for your continued prayers. Please continue to pray for all those affected with cancer and all those who so faithfully care for those of us with cancer or in recovery.
I just spoke with two friends this weekend who cannot recall when they had their PSA checked. All I can say is DO IT NOW...family members...naggin' til they go !
I love you all and thank you for loving me..... Thank You Lord for Your Blessings on Me

NOW LISTEN UP GUYS......
Did you know that a man is 33% more likely to get prostate cancer than a woman is to get breast cancer? It's true. A husband, father, son, brother, grandfather, friend dies every 17 minutes of every day from Prostate Cancer
Are you a male 40-75 or over 35 and African American or your father or brother had Prostate Cancer? Get tested!
Someone you know may be affected. One in every six men will get prostate cancer. 35% will be under the age of 65. There will be over 2.8 million cases of prostate disease reported in 2009. For over 218,890 men, it will be prostate cancer. Over 27,050 will die because they didn't get an examination or didn't act soon enough. Don't let it be said, "He was too afraid or embarrassed to get tested." We cannot rest until we win the battle against Prostate Cancer.
