It is finished

Yesterday, Sylvia took me to the urologist’s office in GR where they removed the catheter.  We met briefly with Dr Rodriguez and he shared the pathology report with us.  There is some sign of cancer at one spot in the periphery of the prostate.  While this doesn’t give us the “all clear” report we were hoping for, it doesn’t necessarily indicate that the cancer has spread.  I have a PSA test in four weeks and will meet with Dr R to learn the results of that.  We’re hoping for a zero count on that PSA test.

Anesthesia has some lingering effects in my body.  These are both physical and mental and not very pleasant.  For that reason, I’m not ready to return here on a regular basis.
