I’m not sure if Alan knows that I’m recording all of this, and if he does know, I’m not sure how he feels about it. He certainly hasn’t said anything, not that he’s read it. I’m cataloging this more for me, so I don’t forget things, than for public consumption anyway. If anyone does read… Continue reading Worse than Expected
Rough Roads Ahead
157. That was one of Alan’s most recent PSA levels. He’s doing another blood test tomorrow to get updated numbers. Depending on the context, that number is meaningless. In this case, that number is bad. Very bad. PSA levels should be 4 or less, so a value of 157 after radiation therapy is not a… Continue reading Rough Roads Ahead
