Three Things

I have three things to announce to bring you up-to-date.

1. My injection medication was approved on the second appeal. I now have the medicine and am using it daily. Medicare approved it for one year. I'm quite certain, they will continue beyond that, but I don't know what I'll have to do next year to get it approved. So, for now, all is good.

2. My latest PSA test showed a slight increase from 0.96 to 1.24. I've not talked to either of my doctors yet, but I've noticed the lab made a mistake and used a different test to arrive at that newest number. It's not a bad number except for the fact that it is an increase. However, using two different tests is like comparing apples with oranges. I'll have new labs in early May.

3. I had a bone scan Monday, April 23. I won't get the official written report until I see my doctor in early May, but the imaging center gave me copies of the new images plus all prior scans. I compared the newest to the previous. I'm not a doctor, but even Dianne and I can see that I have LESS metastasis in the newest scan than I did in the previous scan. It's a miracle. God is doing a miracle in my body!

Thank you for praying. Thank you for caring. Join me in praising God for His goodness.
