Medical Update

Today was my long awaited return visit to my doctor to get the results of the biopsies. He explained that none of the samples showed any cancerous cells, so I'm clean for now. He also concluded that the elevated PSA levels are caused by chronic inflammation of the prostate. As a result, they will no longer be able to rely on the PSA levels as a useful test about my prostate health. They will have to rely more on DRE's (wonderful) and when changes are detected, with more biopsies!! (hurray!)

At any rate, this qualifies as good news, and a relief. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
