Welcome to FT!

Sounds like you have had quite a year or so. Hopefully the friends you will make here and the support you will receive will help you at least pick up your spirits! I was reading your numbers in the profile, I must admit most didn't make a lot of sense to me. However, my PSA just went up to 4.2, so I am scheduled for a biopsy on 3-9. I'm sure those numbers will start meaning more to me.

I hope to meet you in the chatroom sometime!
