Good People of the board, I'll not be here for a few days. Not because I don't love ya any more, I'm having a cancer operation. My prostate is coming out on Monday, June 20th, and I'll be in my craftmatic adjustable hospital bed for a few days. I'll be gone for a few days, but like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I'll Be Back!

Thank You all for the well wishes. I have returned! The operation went well. It was performed a few weeks later that scheduled and in another hospital.
What happened was I was in the hospital and putting on the surgical garb and booties. At that time I was told the surgery was cancelled. Not the best of all times to tell me. So I went home and called the caseworker handling my care. The case was moved to the Manhatten VA a few days later. On July 8th the operation was performed and my prostate was removed in what the surgeon termed a textbook surgery. He checked the lymph nodes in the area and saw they were healthy. Blood tests have been made and the results show no cancer in my blood either. I cross fingers that it stays that way.
People, if your MD suggests a blood test or biopsy, please have it. It can save your life.
