Cancer/Writing Journal #92

  This is truly a Cancer/Writing entry.  I had my PSA tested again this week and again the level was too low to be detectable.  One thing interesting was that the Oncology lady said that with the meds I am on (presumably the one that turns off testosterone) she would have expected muscle wasting to be occurring in me.  The fact that that has not happened tells her that I am doing something very right.  I told my fitness coach and he was quite gladdened by that.  He asked if he could tell others of that.  My response, "Sure." Here is my poem for my writing group.  It was generally well received although a couple of people did not see it as a poem, more of an essay.  My response, "Hey, it's got lines that don't go to the end of the margin; it's got stanzas; what more do you want?  Heck, it's even about poetry!"  I'm joking.  I sort of half get what they are saying but I don't have a real tight grip on when a poem is not a poem....
