Over the weekend I ran into a friend who told me she reads this blog but can't get her husband to do so. Her husband has been treated for prostate cancer, but his PSA is climbing again and she's concerned (so is he, I'm sure).
Having limited experience, and absolutely no qualifications, I'm not the best person to deal with her husband's situation from a medical (or almost any other) perspective, so I don't blame him for not finding your truly as a source of information. I can, however, understand how upsetting it must be to have made your treatment decision and then be faced with having to do it all over again...and things get a little more difficult the second time around (which, by the way, is not true only of prostate cancer).
Perhaps if another reader who has had a similar experience would choose to share his story it would be of benefit (and that's really my agenda, to become a location for the exchange of information, education, and connection...'cause I certainly don't have enough juice to carry this alone).
On a personal note, this morning I ran the same distance I ran just a few days before my surgery. It felt good at the time, but now I'm having some discomfort in the area of the incisions...perhaps a bit too much too soon (yet further proof...as if needed....I'm an idiot).
