Desparate for any advice anyone can give. I had no replies to my prev entry several days back so am trying again.
Hubby is having his treatment tomorrow & I'd so like to hear from anyone as to anything, what, or some of the things we maybe will have to deal with afterwards.

I had my Bachytherapy on the 5 Feb and appear to being doing alright. . Every 60 to 120 minutes I need to be close to a rest room when every I get out of a chair and start moving. How are you folk doing now that 10 weeks have passed.

Our sincere thanks for your caring in this regard.

We just had his 1st post treatment check. His PSA just before treatment was 11.9. As of 2 wks ago his PSA was 2.9.

We both are truly praising our Lord for gracing our lives in this way.

He had a bout with pneumonia abt a month ago but things have been going really well.
