I will be taking a few days off after January 10

 I learned a little while back that my tumor had grown to take up one whole side of my prostate. This moves me up the ladder to stage 3 gleason 7. Which means I could reach stage 4 soon. So I have opted to have it removed. It will be done by robotic surgery through my abdomen. There will be 2 cuts with maybe 5 stitches each. A 2 day stay in hospital, then home to Rosebud to recover. My oldest son Spider (his Heavy Metal nick name) is coming to stay with us to help Rosebud help me. When I can comfortably sit down at the computer, and Rosebud says that it's okay (she's my Rock) I will be back.

Thank You All For Letting Me Share This Journey With You!! It's a music blog thank you for letting me bring this part of my life into the mix. Thank you for all the words of support, prayers and everything else you all have been great!

  10. Sending you positive energy for a successful surgery and recovery.

    JD, I have so many relatives, friends, and coworkers who have had cancer, and it comforts me that you'd never know, years later (after the hair returns if they did chemo) that they even had it.

    I trust this will be the case for you. Sending healing from Atlanta!!
