Rather quiet day here. Guess I'm recuperating from earlier this week.

I planted the Shasta daisy, that DD gave me, this morning. DH helped with the digging. It's hard to dig a hole in sand - it just keeps filling up, & of course we always run into so many tree roots of various sizes. Now it's done & looks great near the black eye-susan & coneflowers.

It was so nice when we walked. Now it is overcast. I think we have a chance of rain but I'll believe it when it gets here. Last night we had storms forecasted - some possibly severe - & we never got a drop. I haven't watered today but will have to tomorrow if we don't get a good amount of rain. I expect that I'll be watering! I will walk again later to get another mile & have a total of 3 miles again today.

BBL to see who else stops by....

Here's where we are at. W/DH' he's like in middle of like mild, to worse. But not the worse,
Anyhow we ask some questions, and DH thinks he will go w/radiation,
First he will get CT Scan and Bone Scan THURSDAY- Aug. 2,
Now these is to see if its moved anywhere else. So we really don't know that yet.
But if DH gets the Radiation it will be like twice a week for 6 weeks,
But it kills Cancer...
Other ways is to contain it so it doesn't move and watch it is like a pill or something.
We WILL See the Dr. Aug. 10. To find out results of these last tests. And I will ask questions all over again and write what Dr' says.
so it is clear for Dad and myself. but going forward whatever is done is an appt. w/another Dr. that will do what needs to be done w/what DH decides.....
Will ask even more questions.
But we both feel comfortable about everything.

Marm, yes there are many ways of treating prostate cancer and what is used depends on a lot of things. Some of them are the patient's age, type of prostate cancer, if it's spread (metastasized) anywhere and where to and several other factors I can't think of right now. As you've I'm sure heard they sometimes do surgery, sometimes chemo, sometimes radiation, and sometimes radioactive seed implant,sometimes hormone therapy.Sometimes, if it's a slow growing cancer they don't do any treatment at all.

I found what Rose Marie said interesting about her husband's prostate cancer. Since he was in good health they treated his she said. My third brother has prostate cancer and he found out about 5 years ago. He's only 69 years old and in very good health so I don't know why they didn't treat his as they did Rose Marie's dh. They told him that since it's the slow growing kind he didn't need treatment. He also is young acting for 69 because he married late and still has young children.My oldest brother had it also and they did radioactive seed implant.
