the next step

So, it's still there. The cancer, I mean. Now that we know, and have been able to process the information, it seems that we get to move onto what we do about it. We saw the surgeon and he says that Dennis isn't a candidated for surgery.  I'm sorry to hear that.  Dennis is not.  So, now, he gets to have hormone shots, will survive outpatient surgery to implant radioactive pinheads into his prostate, and then he gets to endure daily direct laser beam treatments for up to 8 weeks.  Come late spring time, he should be done.  But, remission can't be declared for 2 years.  We can wait. In the meantime, I can only hope and pray that he will begin to take better care of himself.  We've talked and talked about this.  I will not nag.  He has to want to be different.  Right?  "Lord, instill in him whatever it is he needs to want to make a difference in his own life!"
