There we were on July 28th , Theresa and I sitting in a waiting room with several ladies all waiting to have their mammograms taken except for my wife Theresa.
Unlike the usual waiting room with magazines having subjects such as Sports, News, Golf and only a few ladies' magazines, this waiting room had all ladies' magazines and an AVON catalog.
There was even a wig catalog for those that had lost their hair due to radiation.
This would have been great fun for a CD except that I was slightly scared of what the mammograms would reveal about me.
Let us go back to July 26th when I had my routine checkup for my prostate cancer that is in remission. Earlier in the month I had given blood samples for my PSA and Testosterone levels to be determined. The PSA was 0.0 and my Testosterone was 218 which is still lower than in the normal range of 350-720 for my age. It had climbed up from a low of 7, but that was when I was taking hormones to stop the cancer from growing.
Everything seemed to be normal, that is, until I told my Urologist about a tinge of pain that I felt sometimes in my right breast. The hormones had caused my breasts to become enlarged, but my last hormone shot was in August of 2002. He felt both of my breasts then he seemed very concerned and wrote out two prescriptions.
