Well we saw the dr today & the decision has been made.   Steps will now be implemented to have hubby have Brachy Therapy for his prostate.

His last PSA test from abt a month ago was at 12 from a previous 10 in June.

We were a bit baffled at 1st because the dr started going on abt hubby needing to have a biopsy done in December & he started on abt something else but I intervened & said that the last time Brachy Therapy had already been discussed & that he(the dr) was then anxious to get things going.  Now it seemed like they were back tracking.

My hubby had made up his mind for today.  I did not pressure him in any way & he's comfortable with the idea of proceeding.  Nipping this thing before it gets too out of hand.  There could be a side effect for say 3 to 6 months where he'd have to have a catheter tube but he was comfortable that that's hardly a major concern.  I think the very important point here was that it was something he's emotionally comfortable with now.

BUT, of course, we've got fears.  It's like you almost feel there's scary things waiting for you ahead yet you dont' know where & you've just simply got this fear behind you.  But I'm thinking we wouldn't be normal if we didn't have a fear.

I'm so trying to focus on the positive, stay strong & turn to the Lord that he'll help and guide us as he's able.  I've promised him I'll be as strong as I can but yet feel I'll need help now & then.

Prep proceedings will start & the treatment would take place by January so thats not too long to wait all things said & done.

Anywho I've got to go for now, supper time.  I just wanted to update this for the few that check my journals out & might be wondering.

I so love you all & will try not to bother you for too many prayers too often or for a shoulder to lean on too often.
