That was my diagnosis. Stomach, meet floor. That one word brings to mind the many who get it, die from it, survive it, and lots of fundraising and research to “find the cure.” Mention Medicare/Medicaid and healthcare costs rising every year, and our loss of national productivity is creating a crisis looming before us. The health and wealth of our nation are a Code Blue!
I tried my hand at self-care but ended up in the E.R. at the end of August. My PSA was 595 on August 27th, 2020; my father’s PSA started at 400, and he lasted 15 years with it. But times have changed for the better.
