My Journal
Seven Years, Cancer Free
April 1st, 2021

It's been 11 months since my last journal entry. April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month. A lot has happened. The Pandemic is winding down and I continue to test cancer free. I have had 3 appointments since my last entry and the only thing wrong now is my testosterone levels are still out of whack. Higher levels in the winter, Lower levels in the summer. I'm trying to control that. I currently take a testosterone gel for my problem and am supposed to take a half a pump in the winter because of the higher levels which is impossible. Gel spreads like wildfire. My doctor is talking shots instead but I'm not too crazy about that. I'm confident it will level out and hopefully I can control it through the summer. 

I had my latest appointment with my cancer doctor yesterday and my tumor markers continue to be non existent. Blood work came back normal again so, unless something drastically happens between now and May 27 (The date of my actual Cancerversary) I will be cancer free for 7 years and that's no April Fools joke.
