good stuff and onward together.
(let me be certain about your note). you are staying on medical treatment for PCA but the doctor doesn't want you to do blood work, but you are doing so only because you are on a study? that seems interesting at the least, how would you know that the cancer remains in remission without doing blood work?
keep the faith and thank you and good luck!

He said I'd be OK with bloodwork every 6 months instead of every 3 if I weren't in the study, because I've been stable for nearly three years.
His concern was just the extra hassle for me, but I said I don't mind (there's a hospital lab a short walk from my house, and I get the results in a couple of hours; I pop across the street for a masala chai for a treat afterwards).
