It’s been a
busy couple of weeks, so I haven’t updated everyone on my prostate cancer. So,
here we go!
I had to
cancel my trip to Omaha to see Dr. Tepley as I came down with an upper
respiratory deal. I did manage to finish out the season at Eagle Raceway with 4
nights last week and this past Sunday, so that is off of my plate.
Where do we
go from here? Well, next Monday I go see my urologist to get the shot to kill my
testosterone which will hopefully help slow the spread of the cancer.
Then, the
next day I go to Saint Elizabeth’s hospital to have gold markers implanted so
that the radiation oncologist has a clear target of where to apply the radiation.
That radiation will begin on approximately October 11th. Then that
will continue for around 8 weeks, going in daily.
On a side
note, when I went in for my usual visit with my regular doctor, he found a
suspicious mole on my head. So, I go to see a surgeon tomorrow about getting it
removed.
One thing I
will say is that getting old ain’t for the weak!!
