Just realized I forgot to share good news

9 months post-op, Alan's PSA is still coming back showing no detectable cancer.

He's graduating to a "every six month" screen (instead of every three months).

I know I had been posting about being overwhelmed by the losses being suffered by people close to me. Turns out the universe gave me some relief.

(But I still have one more funeral to attend today.)

Cancer touches most everyone. It is a curse for sure and is so prevalent that it isn't a surprise, sadly. twodogsbarking Sep 2025 #6

Great improvements in treatment have been made but the dream is that someday it will fully understood and eradicated. Your post was poetic. Thanks.
