Off to get nuc'd
« on: November 08, 2017, 01:24:11 pm »
This is Nuc or Rad day!  Start radiation portion of treatment for prostate cancer.  The docs both said it is just serious enough to do something about, even at my age, but very cureable.  The oncologist said his Dad has the same degree of p.c. And he would recommend the same treatment for him.  The hormone suppression phase was interesting.  This stage, I get to drink a lot of water and have to go to critical volume before the rad hit - then run like heck to the restroom when it's done :-X >:D. Supposedly, it will increase the fatigue factor.  Hopefully, not too much to keep me from working on the bow stave!  The cold garage will do that!

Prayers for you! Cancer in any form is nothing to shake a stick at! I have lots of friends and family in the midst of it or taken by it.

Thanks, guys!  This one of those serious things that happen in life!  It affects every one sooner or later!  I "only" have 28 more sessions, and I get Thanksgiving weekend off!  Make up day is up in the air, but finish on 19 or 20 December.  No weekend duty! 
We did get permission to hunt does on one of Jacie's client's place, tags are good for the rest of the month!  Elk were a figment of the imagination this year!
Thanks again for your support😀😀😀!

And on the plus side, you got a nightlight when it glows in the dark!  *ahem* 

Keep your chin up, brother, and laugh every chance you get. Let's beat this!
