A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Have arrived back in Quartzsite Arizona...so nice to be warm! here it is after 8 pm and it's 60 something outside! far better than close to 40 as it's been the past few weeks!

Some of you remember that last fall my husband was going through prostrate cancer treatment ...which involved radiation lots of it both low beam and then a high beam radiation...we were sure that all was well until this fall when a psa came back high so were went back to the ocologist and after having tests ran found out that the cancer had spread to the bone..had done that before the radiation treatment so it's back to stay...since it's still prostrate cancer it will be treated at this time with harmon lowering shots and male harmon blockers although it's no longer curable it is treatable ...and so we are dealing with this ... if you have a special male in your life remind him to get his PSA ran (as important as breast exams are to us or pap smears) and if it comes back enlarged or the numbers are up and you get the we will wait and test it later run don't walk for another opinion I wish we had those many years ago!

So sorry to hear about your hubby's cancer returning. My dad had prostate cancer about 6 or 7 years ago. He got those radiation beads put in and they seemed to do the trick for him. His PSA's are close to zero now. What is the treatment and prognosis now for Larry? Maybe the sunshine in Q will help both mentally and physically for both of you! Have you looked into alternative treatments? There are some that are very good.

hope and praying that treatment goes well

Glad you're where its warmer. Sorry about Ron - but glad it treatable.

Sheila the both of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Shiela - Please take care of you and Larry. Praying for both of you!

Hello Sheila,
We do not know each other as of now but my prayers are with you both... as you walk this winding path...

Sheila - It's good that you are back in your familiar winter quarters. I sure am sorry to hear Larry's monster has reared its ugly head again. Fight it with everything you can and bash that ugly thing into submission.

I'll be in Q in January with my camping club - around the 26th, 27th, etc. Same RV parking place as before with the hookups. If you remember what Flitter looks like and you happen to be cruising around the area, stop and say Hi!

In the meantime - hang in there and do whatever you have to.

Would love to see you Pooker will have to send me your site number as I'm not sure I would remember what Flitter looks like
will be looking forward to seeing you
