Anniversary

[Steve Kramer]

It has been 11 years today since my PSA that led me toward my journey with
prostate cancer. On this date, I have in the past annually posted my entire
history, but there have only been six new members to this newsgroup and
maybe only one that stuck around. Hence, I will not bore y'all. And,
updates to last years treatise would include only that;

I'm still seeing PSA results of less than 0.10.
I now have ten grandchildren as of April.
I officially retired in March 2011.

I'm still having a great time and still fighting the bastard.
Illegitimati non carborundum!

IF it were only eleven years, that would have been a good run in itself.

Steve,

I started the journey 9.5 years ago with you. You had a year or so on
me and I am eternally grateful for your sharing, caring, and honest
dealings with me. You were the first person that gave me the truthful
information on PCa that I was looking for - when no one else would. I
am talking about the physicians I was dealing with to nurses and on
down. You inspired me, made me laugh and kept me honest with a
realistic outlook. I still believe that this group offers better
medical advice and support than any other place on earth for PCA. . I
admired you for keeping statistics on everyone and being the GodFather
of the group. You deserve to be healthy for another 10+ years and I
wouldnt bet against you and am rooting for you to hit 20+. Keep the
Journey Going.Thank you Steve and God Bless.

PS. My X -Ray white spot was arthritis.

Dave,

Every once in awhile, I am struck dumb. Your post just did that for me.
Thank you for your warm thoughts and well wishes. I cannot express how much
they mean to me.

A posting and update from you, never. Steve you are an inspiration and I
enjoy reading what you have to write. Although we took different paths to
fight this bastard, it's working.

Isn't retirement great! (And, I thought that I would not make it.)

Bev (Ron's wife - Pottingshed I think was her handle here) reminding me of
same in a private message. Years ago, while I was happy with my life, I was
lamenting that I may not see retirement or grandchildren. Here I am,
retired and blessed tenfold with another generation. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

Congratulations Steve, My latest, a couple of weeks ago was 0.1. Just had a
biopsy of a mass in my chest through the same zipper from when they did the
bypass 5 yrs. ago. All was benign and they removed the thymus gland. We only
need that gland as kids and adolescents to grow, at my age the only thing
that is growing is the belly.

You don't have to mention your score Fen. It's obvious that you're a
winner.

Best of luck for the future.

Congratulations Steve. I think you've made a big difference in many
people's lives.

I hope you live to see every one of those grandchildren go to college,
graduate, marry, and start families of their own.
