Out of the closet

Today both the Colorado Springs Gazette and the Colorado Springs Business Journal reported on my cancer, and also noted that it may force me to drop out of the race for mayor of Colorado Springs. Cat's outta the bag! At any rate, I have no plans to drop out of the race at this time. Heck - I'm just getting started!

Appointments

I have my next appointments set. July 19th I will travel to Denver to meet with Doc Crawford and talk through the mapping biopsy procedure. Then on 24 Aug I will get the mapping biopsy. The mapping biopsy is a relatively new procedure - it's been around 4 or 5 years. Whereas my last biopsy was 12 samples, this could be as many as 90 samples! The idea is to create a 3-dimensional picture of the prostate and gain a precise understanding as to the scope of the cancer. I will be "under" during the procedure and it could be a couple of days taking it easy after the procedure. However, once the results are back we will all have a better view of the road ahead. Thanks to all for your support!
