“ Getting old sucks.‘

At 84, I can agree! How old are you?

Thanks for the prayers and well wishes all. They are much appreciated.

84, good on you! I'm still 2 years from RMD's. Between CHF and cancer, I might still have to deal with distributions, but I doubt I'll make it to 84. but, hey, you never know.

Hard part is getting the docs to tell me what's going to kill me first. If heart failure is going to punch my ticket in 2 years, I'm certainly not going to spend a year of it chasing cancer around. We'll see what's up when all the testing is back. Until then, today is a pretty good day.

That is because they really dont know. The PET scan will yield more information.

Actually, pretty surprised they posted this before my Dr saw it. I won't bore you with the whole thing, but the summary is:

Impression:

> Extensive PSMA activity within the prostate gland, consistent with newly diagnosed prostate carcinoma.

> PSMA avid metastatic lymphadenopathy in the pelvis, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum.

> PSMA avid osseous metastasis in the L5 vertebral body.

>Circumferential bladder wall thickening. 2.4 cm nonavid lymph node anterior to the bladder, nonspecific.. Recommend correlation with urinalysis.


They should have just written "You're Fucked" in big red letters on top. Looks like I'll be playing radiology Whack-a-Mole for a while.

Damn. Sorry to see this latest post. My
prayers are with you in this fight.
