Hi, Steve. I'm thinking of you, hoping for the best and expecting good news. And if by chance it is confusing news or sort of ok but a little worrisome news, I know you will be able to handle the ambiguity and be ok. (Don't oncs love to watch and wait when it comes to prostates?)
Anyways, xoxoxoxoxoxoo d |

Steve,
Just learned of your news. DANGIT!!!! As Lisa said, The diagnostic ordeal is the hardest scariest part for many of us and I hope it helps you to know we are all waiting with you for the news today. Just remember that everything is going to be fine either way, but just not as fun for a little while if its positive. You are strong and smart and have all the resources that you will need if your biopsy is positive and you will be ready to spring into action. But I am praying so hard that you just have a benignly lopsided prostate :-) My stepdad had prostate cancer 16 years ago at age 59 and he is still disease free today and very healthy. His was caught early and he had a prostatectomy only and that did the trick. Much love from St Louis, Beth |

To my marvelous TNBC family,
I just got fantastic news!!!!!! All 12 of my core biopsies were benign for prostate cancer. There is a lovely nurse at the urologist's office and we have become friendly. She got the urologist's permission to call and give me the good news. I am genuinely stunned and overjoyed. Evidently your prayers and good wishes worked and I was/am so moved by the outpouring of support I received. Thank you, thank you, thank you. with my love, Steve
