Hooray!

The wind was so strong this morning that I missed out on my Qi Gong for the first time since returning from UK. It could have blown me over, quite apart from dispersing any beneficial Qi that I would have been able to generate.

So Faith and I decided to head into town for me to take a PSA test, which basically is a blood marker of the state of the prostate and cancer in the system.

4 nanograms PSA to the millilitre of blood is deemed to be normal. Anything over 10 is panic stations, so when I tell you that my PSA had risen from 37.2 in November to 60.4 in January and 82.2 on February 1st . . .

After the strict regime of diet, the supplements, the pills and the daily Qi Gong sessions I was hopeful for some improvement. ANY reduction in that horrific February figure would be the spur to carry on.

We’ve just been to get the result. IT'S DOWN TO 2.26! "Normal" said the mikrobiologist with just the hint of a smile.

So, I say again, Hooray! - and thanks for all your prayers and encouraging thoughts and words. It’s nowhere near the end of the journey, but at least I am encouraged to keep following this route.
