J-Town Forum

Thank You J-Town for helping all those people. Your club amazes me. And most of all the sponsors are what makes it happen. Respect those sponsors because without them there's nothing! And Frankie, with what's on your plate you just never stop, good work my Brother! Your efforts go a long long way.
                                         

This is a cancer update. I didn't think my PSA numbers could get lower but they did! The last two #'s were 0.02. Now it's 0.012. Unbelievable!!! There are some other concerns though, high blood pressure. At he primary care Dr. today the second time it was 165 over, I think it was 83. Anyway it's a concern & they doubled the doubled the pain medication I'm already taking, lisinopril. I'll go back in 30 days.
What I expect for this year is more struggle, until I get off the hormonal therapy. Although with side effects, the drugs are working! Isn't that wonderful? I'm sure someone that reads this will get cancer & realize the mind game. I also want to point out with a Gleason score of 8, it is an aggressive form of prostate cancer. I'm doing fine though. 2013, here I come!!!

What timing. A day before the Ice Bowl you get great news! Someone up above is looking down on you my Brother. Love the positives you install in me Frank.

We appreciate the support guys. Thanks for coming out!
