This morning I had my consultation appointment with the urologist who performed my March prostatectomy. Since my follow-up PSA blood test revealed a slightly increasing trend that probably points to the presence...at least on a microscopic biochemical level...of residual cancer in that part of my body, he laid out the future treatment strategy. It includes both radiation and hormone therapy, and this will be scheduled in the next few days. Sure, I would have preferred to have maintained that earlier low PSA level, but my doctor is very upbeat about my prospects following this treatment regimen, which we will schedule around our upcoming cruise. I don't know how this will affect my overall energy level in the next two or three months, but I've already decided to focus on showing up and finishing regarding the running races I'm going to participate in with a mix of running and walking. The main hassle as I see it will be driving across town to my treatment sessions and back. Still, I plan to be positive and active through it all...
