I've woken up today feeling better than I have in a long time. I think the throwing up is over with and we might be on the slow climb back to being healthy. I'm still worried about being anemic as I can't go the 15 steps from our family room to the bedroom without being out of breath and I will take a blood test next Friday and discuss with Reznick at the next appointment on the 28th. The least it means is the Aerones shot the most is getting a couple bags of blood.
I talked with Shawn Patrick from 9news last night about a testicular carcer segment they had planned for last night. He wanted to come out to the house within the hour and set up to talk and I was not ready to do it that quick. I spent 3.5 hours getting fluid yesterday and was a little worn out. Anyway, with the NeNe news, they wanted to do a story on TC and I am sure some of you saw it. It said 1 in 500 men get it and there is a 5 year 96 percent recovery rate. The most important part is getting guys to talk about it and understand their responsibily and that it is similar to women doing a breast exam. If one person can catch it before it spreads, it's SOOO much easier. A couple guys I know have gotten their physicals and I'm glad to hear it.

Sam,
I saw the interview last night and while it was good and somewhat informative, it needed to be stronger.. to encourage the younger boys to be aware. Most people thought this was a older mans disease, but not true.
I went on line this am and wrote to Susie Wargen @ Channel 9 News and their Health News Director asking them to present more information to the public and especially to make an attempt to get NENE in the limelight. Big stars, althletes, etc. bring focus to everything and if he helps save one young mans life it will be another miracle.
So I will just wait and see if anyone responds. Also, a gentleman that works in the bank sister, is dating someone connected to the team and he forwarded info. on that way.
I am really glad your feeling a little better and it may just take time to get all that poison out of your system. We are looking forward to a clean bill of health for you. I love you.
Mom
