I am having surgery today. I was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. I hadn’t had a blood test in 2 years and my PSA came back elevated. We had a biopsy and it came back positive with a Gleason score of 7 (3-4).

So, today is the day. I am happy we caught it early and looking forward to recovery. My prognosis is excellent and I place myself in God’s care while he watches over my team. I have a week off from work for my recovery.

If you are 40 or over, get your PSA checked regularly. Early diagnosis and treatment will save your life.
