I never mentioned it before, but at my last visit to the U of MI this month a reseacher was waiting for me at the check in window. I had been selected as a research project. I know bladder neck invasion is not that common and statistically the outcomes aren't that good, either, but there just isn't that many numbers in any study to really be that meaningful. So now I am going to make history as a case study number. I am so exicted!! I am famous at last.

I feel so sorry for those of you who are getting by without all the extras some of us get. next time wait longer before you get your PSA checked and maybe you to can be a case study too plus get lots of extra attention. Just like me.

    A Toast to Trew!
    Raise your glasses of warm Vernors and cold vanilla ice cream floats-—Trew’s choice, not mine. This will make more sense after you've read his posts on the “ice cream and cancer” thread.

    Note: All those on dairy-free and/or sugar-free diets, please use caution during the toast... ;)

    Trew, hope all goes well.

    Everything is fine- I'm famous now- well, will be when I become a real statistic.

    fame is illusive
    Unfortunately, the dirty little secret that no one (except for a few here) wants to write about (but perhaps needs to) is that we all become statistics at some time or another, whether in a clinical study or by some other means. The hope is that as you progress along in this private, one-man study, you and your doctors will learn enough to help both you and others so that, possibly, some stats can/will be changed. But you already know that. Hang in there.
