I finished my radiation treatments six months ago. The blood test results showed that the prostate cancer is undetectable. Great news. But what does it really mean?
My prostate cancer is undetectable six months after radiation
Does my undetectable cancer test really mean God is good?
When something positive happens, some Christians have a tendency to respond with “God is good”. I got some of these replies after texting about the results of my first blood test after radiation treatment for cancer. I don’t mean to knock the thought. But I often wonder, what would the reply be if the news was negative?
My nightmare the day before getting radiation treatment results
I had my first nightmare about cancer in the three and a half years since I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. And it was the day before getting radiation treatment results. At least, it seems like it should be called a nightmare. I mean, it was about cancer. And yet, like this entire time, it wasn’t scary.
What’s next now that radiation treatment is finished?
My radiation treatment for prostate cancer is finished. So, what’s next? Do I get to just move on with life and put this behind me? Uh – no. Cancer isn’t something you can just say that it’s over and forget about it. But then, there’s so much that I’ve learned along the way, it’s not something I want to forget either.
Second Week Of Radiation Treatment – Have To Stay Positive
My second week of radiation treatment begins in half an hour. One down – seven more to go. Or, more specifically, 4 down and 34 to go. And that gives a bit of a clue as to what “have to stay positive” is about. But only a clue. There’s more to it.
Life with cancer – from patience to trust and hope
Life with cancer – from patience to trust and hope. I knew it was going to happen. The only question was when. After prostate removal, the biopsy showed my cancer was more aggressive than previous biopsies indicated. It also showed more cancer than what was expected. Finally, it also showed what’s known as cancer cells on both margins. That means there were cancer cells on both ends of what was removed. With all that, the chances of total removal were pretty much zero. And so, it was a question of waiting for what was nearly inevitable. The inevitable happened.
