16th week

Healing
Wow! 16 weeks post op. I can't believe how fast time goes by. There is not a day goes by that I don't give thanks that I am where I am. But, every day I also wonder if there is a little bit of the cancer left and it is working hard to re-establish itself and test my faith and resolve at some future point. This is the little something that stays on your shoulder like a little monkey, constantly gnawing on your ear. I think I will continue to consider myself healing for two years. That is when I go from a 6 month PSA check and doctor's visit to an annual check. Maybe at that time I will trade in my blue wrist band. The 28th of this month will be 4 months cancer free. I certainly do have a lot to be thankful for next Thursday when the family gathers around the table for Thanksgiving dinner. To all my brothers that are in in various stages of treatment and conquest, Happy Thanksgiving and may God bless you all.
