Diagnosis


On January 31, 2013, Bob was diagnosed with prostate cancer.  His last PSA number was 5.62, not high but higher than normal and since his father died of prostate cancer the doctor suggested a biopsy and that was how it was found.  His Gleason score is 7, on a scale of 1 to 10 it shows the aggressiveness of the cancer cells, 10 being the most aggressive.  So something needed to be done. 

This blog will be about a journey.  First it is Bob’s journey to rid his body of what does not belong there.  It is also my journey as his partner to encourage, love and nurture him through this ordeal.  And then it is our journey, as a couple we want to stay healthy and happy into our older years.
