Here’s how I handle the generic “How are you?” question with someone who’s aware I have PCa:

“Hey, Turt, how’re you doin’? You makin’ it ok?”

“Yeah, I’m fine, thanks. Last screening came back undetectable, so that’s good. Next one is in…two months. Still peeing myself, though…not nearly as much as I used to, so I’m down to lighter pads now and wearing them longer, so I’m on the right path that way. Hopefully, another two or three months and I’ll be pretty much back to normal. Of course, the ED issues are still there, but I get some glimmer of hope every now and then, like I woke up to go pee the other night and actually had half an erection - that’s encouraging, to say the least. How’re you doing?”

“Uhhh…um…I’m fine. I’m startin’ 9th grade this year so…uh…yeah, that’s excitin’…um…I think I hear my mom callin’ for me…I gotta go…”

Ba-dump! 😆
