I caught cancer....now what

In March of 2008, I was told my PSA score ( Prostate Specific Antigen ) was elevated and that I should see a specialist. This had happened three or four years ago and they did another blood test and all was well. At that time, my psa was 4.2. This time it was 6.8, still not that high, with 3 being normal. I made an appointment with a specialist....it took 2 months to get in to see him. He told me I had to have a biopsy....it took another month and a half to schedule the biopsy. It only took one week to get the results.....I had cancer. I want to keep this blog to track my adventure with this disease. I also want to share this experience with my friends and family, especially my children. I especially want to keep this blog for me. I still have flashes of "oh, that was just a dream" phenoma so as we go along, it will be interesting for me to monitor how my perspective changes. This may be a bit narcissistic, but hell, I caught cancer.
