Welcome new members @drggkelley @web265 @proftom2

@drggkelley, I too applaud you for being proactive and not delaying getting this investigated. Do you have any questions about next steps or the biopsy?

@proftom2, yes, cancer can be like a dark cloud and constant companion. But it sounds like there's some silver lining. Glad to hear you're walking again. How is it being closer to family? Are they supportive?

Yes, family is very supportive. I've two kids, 30s+. Each week they ask me, via story worth, a mindful question about my life's journey. I spend the entire week contemplating and writing a reply to their question. Over the top therapeutic. Also, every couple of weeks I share my cancer journey journal notes with them them and my wife. Helps a lot keeping focused on my treatment plan instead going to the Darlin Cloud place.

Thank you Colleen. I posed a question or two in one of my responses to another member. I procrastinated a couple months hoping my psa would decline. It did and then went back up the last two tests over two months. My doc recommended the biopsy in June, so I probably should have had it done by now. Not sure if losing 3 months was a good idea, however, he said if it is cancer it is slow growth and not likely to increase over a few months and he said no evidence it has spread. Thoughts or suggestions?
