Some have asked so I will let you know that I will be heading down to Emory in January and March for check ups to make sure everything went well. I am still on Flomax, and still a little tired, tends to come in around lunch time.
Skip this part if you never swam, it's just swimmer talk: Over the last three weeks though, my 200 frees are getting faster. this week I was cruising 2:11's in the middle of a 2000 yard mountain set. I am still breathing more than normal, but everything is just getting better.
One side effect I have noticed is my hips feel tight/tender on the muscles that got zapped. It seems my legs wear out faster than the rest of my body. This week I have added strength training to the regiment. Still have my goal of making top 3 in the 50 at Masters Nationals this summer in Richmond VA. Just another goal to work towards.
As I write this my last treatment was 22 days ago. I could not be happier with the choice I made, we will be monitoring my PSA for the rest of my life, and watch for it to decrease. I have been in touch with Bob Marcini's daughter Deb a lot lately as they work to promote Bob's rerelease of his book, and who knows, maybe a documentary. More to come on that later. Charles told me to pay it forward, and I'm spreading the word every chance I get.
