Very well thank you!

A year ago at this time I was in radiation. Today the only radiation side effect that remains is a very slight indication of radiation proctitus if I OD on nuts (which I like). Otherwise all systems normal!

And I have lost the 15 pounds I gained while on Lupron.

My PSA has been 0.33 since March of 2003. See the Graph on the right. Everyone says this is a "nice" number and I like it because it is not going up.

My next trip to the doc will be in three months when I see Shaheen (urologist). We alternate every three months, just saw Glover (radiation oncologist). Will see him in six months.

Have missed several meetings as my spouse received a kidney transplant in late June. So we have been at Stanford a lot in the last couple of months. I am looking forward to returning to the group.

If you are in town on a first Wednesday of the month, plan on going to the Group meeting ­ they are full of information and you can meet some great people!
