Battling cancer in the slow lane

My first PSA test of 2023 says my cancer is still undetectable. That makes us good through June, when we test again.

I’m grateful for the drugs, but they are not silently effective. Sitting down means sitting a long time. Getting up is an iffy sequence of wanting to, telling my body to, and actually moving. Pep pills they’re not. There should be hazard tape on chairs, sofas, and beds.

If the drugs were a railroad, it’d be the Lacka-wanna. (Dad joke.)

But compared to other cancer treatments this is posh. I’m out on runs, waving to dog walkers.

I move slow, but I’m still ahead of the cancer.
