Grant,

Great to hear you have a positive attitude. You can and will beat this.

Susan and Grant, You are both sources of wonderful inspiration in lots of ways, but especially the one Tiff mentions above! Thanks for sharing it over the years. Love to you both, and (I know I'm wasting my virtual breath) but try to take it easy!


Dan.

Grant,

Get wel soon.
I wish you and Susan all the health and strength.
We have never met, but I can dream your face.
Please grow back your beard!

Peter

Get well soon Grant, I wish both of you the best.

Chin up.

Yeh get well soon Grant. Enjoyed meeting you at Ripley last year and hope to do so for many, many years to come. Anything I can do to help, just give us a shout.

In the meantime there's always this

Wishing you a full recovery, all the best.

Shay

I've been told people like my new "sleek" look, so we'll see about the beard!

thanks to all for the support!

With that attitude we will never see the end of him (thank God).

Susan.
Watch out! A sleek young man might try to live his youthful dreams rather than what we all know is best!
(and I say that as a 70+ 'Old Fart' who still passes an occasional eye at the long legged 'chicks' here!).

The fight is good - so it will succeed.

Grant, I love the new look of the website. I'm sure you'll look just a good without a beard... though I may not recognize you right away. I'm sorry to hear about your current challenges, but it'll be a great story when you tell us all how you beat cancer.

I thought it was time for an update. Grant had his last chemo a week ago Friday, so he's starting to perk up again. In a few days his immune system should be recovered and he can get out and be social again. Then he must start training to get back in shape for the prostate surgery on 28 August, like for a marathon! He has put on weight from the hormones and lack of exercise, and he needs to lose the flab but build up his strength and immune system. The Canada West meeting coming the weekend before at least will take his mind off the surgery!

Then it's 3-6 weeks to recover from surgery, followed by the California meeting in late October. He has heard from many other men who have had the surgery, since he 'came out of the closet', all say recovery is swift. However, they didn't have 5+ months of chemotherapy and hormones beforehand, who knows what that does to your system?

Anyway, the really positive thing is that his PSA is down by 90% from 13 prior to treatment, to 1.3 after 5 chemo cycles. So we are very hopeful that the tumour has shrunk and surgery will be successful in curing the cancer. Then it will all have been worth it for him!

We have greatly appreciated the flow of good wishes for Grant (and myself!), and they've really lifted his spirits, so thanks to all of you for the posts here and the e-mails!
Cheers,
Susan
