Well, along with not updating the blog very often, I've also slacked off a little with regard to my health, although I did run the 5K Smile Run last Saturday. 38 minutes isn't too bad considering I probably haven't run in a year, but I wasn't exactly cruising along, as you can see below.
Over the past year my PSA has slowly climbed, first hitting 3.76 in April 2019, and then in Sept, 2019 coming in at 4.12. Also, my MRI guided biopsy from Dec, 2018 had some new data, with a Gleason Rating of 3+4.
I've just scheduled my annual MRI with Dr Busch (now in Alpharetta!!! YAY) so we'll have a better picture of the situation in December. Dr Busch's new clinic, the Busch Center, brings a Siemens Magnetom Skyra 3T MRI to the Atlanta area and allows Dr Busch to zero in on the tumors, so his 'sticks' always get results. :)
I also have my next PSA test scheduled for December to see if I've "turned this ship" at all by then. :)
So, time to get back to taking care of myself better. More exercise, a good detox, and and an increased essential oils regimen are now on my to-do list. I will be resuming my daily intake of Frankincense, Myrrh, Grapefruit and Wild Orange Essential Oils.
Stay tuned, and I'll try not to be so long before my next update.
UPDATE: Nov 11, 2021
Well, as I stated in my comment below, I ran the Smile Run again this year. This time my finishing time was down to 35:12 and I wasn't nearly as worn out as in the previous year. Here is this year's picture:
Be blessed,
Tom
Entering my own comment here to track progress. :)
ReplyDeleteI recently ran the same Smile Run. I'm in much better shape than I was 2 years ago, and this time my finishing time was 35:12. Since Blogger won't let me add a picture to the comment, I'll put it into the original post.
