Dr. Saranchuk, my urologist/surgeon delivered the good news yesterday during my appointment at the Manitoba Prostate Centre. My PSA levels remain undetectable, six months after my last Zoladex injection. Apparently, I am responding as hoped to the anti-hormonal treatment that is now in the "drug holiday" phase.
Dan and I returned from our paddling trip in Woodland Caribou Park on my 67th birthday. The two week trip, which while challenging, was an experience we both enjoyed. Here are some of the stats as compiled by Dan along with a few pictures that I took.
"Average daily paddling/dead time from camp down to camp up is 8.25 hours. Longest 11 hours 31 minutes, shortest 6 hours 15 minutes. Both numbers exclude the last 1/2 day, 4 hours to Johnson.
Distance was 203 kilometers. Total portages 50, noteworthy rapids 3, noteworthy chutes 4, rock gardens 2. Of course all the beaver pulls as well."
