I’ve not posted about it because I was very nervous. Last Thursday I had a prostate biopsy. The results just came back as all benign.

Hi friends. I posted this earlier. I went for an ultrasound of the thyroid and they found several areas that are “suspicious” of cancer. I go to a radiation interventionist on September 9 for the next good step.

@MdSheryl I did my best to help homeless teens. In 18 years our program served 25,000 different residents in FL. Your story brightened my day. Our great success was helping a young man get a full ride to Tulane. He was thrown away by his family because he was gay. Brilliant young man.

On June 9, Cindy and I will have been married 40 years. She is amazing. So utterly dedicated to our son and grandchildren. Brilliant. M.D. Superb oil artist. Fluent in French. Pretty sure she only married me to have someone to deal with the spiders and take out the trash.

MRI results came back. Indeterminate. Good news is that they did not show an area of prostate cancer. The bad news is that it can’t rule it out 100%. Presume biopsy next but I have not had a call from the Doctor. (Cindy went online and got my results for me). Best wishes to all

Cindy had a significant cancer spot on the side of her nose. Removed followed by a month of a cream (almost like topical chemo) that made her nose red and raw. Doctor today said so far, so good. We go back September 16 for another checkup. But it looks like surgery is averted.

I took Dad (age 102) for skin cancer surgery on his right ear on Monday. They had to cut quite a bit. Then Monday night into Tuesday he bled profusely and had to go to the ER. He was discharged Tuesday morning but is really having a hard time. We go to see the surgeon Monday.

I love Boog. Have been a fan for 30+ years from when he started on WQAM. But I’m in the minority among Cubs fans. He had no prior connection to Chicago. Makes me wonder if it was just a bad fit? But I still enjoy him.

Brought Dad home to live with us. He had to get up to pee every 1-2 hours due to his 100 year old prostate. I slept in a recliner near his bed just so he was safe. It’s almost like having a newborn because he’s so helpless. I’m so glad he is with us.
