12 - 15 October 2011 -PCCN Leaders' Conference, Halifax

Barb and I attended the PCCN (Prostate Cancer Canada Network Leaders’ Conference in Halifax.  Support groups from across the country sent reps for three days of sessions.  At the opening banquet on the 12^th, the speaker was Premier Darrell Dexter.  On Thursday at noon, we had Olivia Chow as speaker.  There were also helpful sessions on a number of other topics.  We went to McAskills in Dartmouth for dinner on Thursday night.  Friday there was a wine and cheese at the Atlantic office of PCCN.  We left for Fall River on Saturday afternoon.

11 October 2011 - Biopsy #5

Barb and I were up at the hospital by 7:30 for my fifth prostate biopsy.  This one seemed to go much better (or was it the two Tylenol I took just before?), not as uncomfortable as last time.  It will probably be a month before I get results.  Dr. Dwyer has agreed to speak at the launch of our support group on November 2.
