Today was my 6-week post surgical follow-up appointment.
After a more than two hour delay sitting the waiting room, Dr. G's nurse practitioner, Anna, came out to talk to us. With a big smile on her face, she says "Isn't that great news?". What is she talking about?
As it turns out, she was talking about the PSA level from my recent blood work. Assuming we had called to get the results, she came in with a big smile on her face and excitement in her voice. Anna went back to her office to get the paperwork.
There's another great reason to be thankful this Thanksgiving. My PSA level is at a "near undetectable" level. This means that the surgery was successful and that it seems as if the cancer has all been removed. YAHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
So for now, we're thrilled and feel very blessed with this news. In the coming months I'll continue to to have PSA tests to be sure that the level doesn't rise. Once the 3 month healing process has passed, I'll begin radiation treatments to assure that any cancer cells that are roaming around are killed off.
Happy Thanksgiving!
