Every year I write a Birthday Blog to celebrate still being around. This is a Blog and it is my Birthday, so...
This year is the tenth anniversary, to the week, of my prostate cancer diagnosis. My ten year report includes:
- Being alive--with medical data to prove it
- Staying active, more or less, as long as I get my daily nap
- Financially supporting both the medical and drug industries
- Still writing blogs and the occasional book--which works best when I can remember the words and how to spell them
- having less hair, more aches and pains, and a foggier memory
The good news is there is an ever increasing number of new prostate cancer treatments and medications. One by one they have helped me keep going. Most of them worked for a while--until they didn't.
The less good news, of course, is that none of the new meds or treatments will cure me or anybody else.
The end (of the Blog, not me)--for now.
Addendum: It amazes me how fast ten years has passed. The next ten years will likely pass even faster. So I'm going to start my Birthday Blog 2023 tomorrow.
