It has been cold, and the days are going to go by too quickly, because Christmas month is like that, we wait in anticipation then... poof, it's over...
There has been a lot going on in our little family, but the foremost of which is some scary news for my husband, it seems his PSA level has more than tripled since his last check-up, PSA levels are checked because an elevated PSA can be an indicator for prostate cancer. Yes, the dreaded "C" word. What's more of a concern is Johnny's age, usually these levels don't rise until the 60's/70's age range... Although his level is still under the "number" they use as a concern level, the number doubling in a year's time is not a good sign, Johnny's more than trippled.
So that's where we are at, his doctor wants to wait one month to see how much more, if any, his level rises and then they will do a biopsy. He feels certain that any cancer that is found can be taken care of with radiation and chemo can be avoided. We are scared, we are worried but we must wait... and focus on better things to keep us going. This is a blessed season, and I feel certain a blessing is coming our way.
Please keep us in your prayers...
