This is the 100th posting in this series. Over the course of my diagnosis, biopsy, treatment decision, surgery, and recovery I've tried in these pages to bring my own experience forward as honestly as possible (pretty damn honest if you ask me), in order to assist others, and their significant others, who may be facing the issues I encounteres.
I have met a lot of people through these musings and been humbled when asked for information or just to be a sounding board.
One issue that will not go away (for good reason) is the PSA controversy. Below is a link leading to an interesting article regarding a study of more than 100,000 men over 11 years published in the New England Journal of Medicine last Wednesday. The article examines the controversy and demonstrates the difficult position in which many physicians find themselves.
As for me, I'm going to enjoy a glass of wine tonight and celebrate the attainment of 100 (posts, not years...yet). Join me! Ummmmm...join me metaphorically, don't show up, I can't afford that much wine.
