I had my post-op blood test on Wednesday. This is 90 days after the prostatectomy operation to allow the system to settle down. I phoned up this morning for the result.

=D> =D> =D> Great news! I'm clear of PCa (cancer)! =D> =D> =D>

What a year and what a day for me and Trish. A long black cloud lifted. :?

On on now to 2011. Thanks to all Free Spirits for you kind thoughts and words of comfort during the last six months. It has been of benefit to me and Trish to know that there is support out there.

Best regards to all for a Happy New Year in 2011
