My Prostate Cancer Experience

I retired from United States Navy after 20 years. During my active duty years, I felt I was really taken cared of by the Medical Teams @ NMCSD. Soon after retirement, I was treated like a second class citizen in all aspects of what I used to take for granted for, MWR reservations, golf, tennis. What really made me angry was that when I turned 65 year old, NMCSD kick me out as my Primary Care. I then had to get my Medicare card and ended in Tricare for life. Medicare pays 80% and Tricare pays for the 20%. Basically, full coverage. Which is not bad.

When I retired, I've asked my internal medicine attending physical for PSA Test, since the age is prone to Prostate Cancer. Unfortunately, I was told, numerous times, that the test did not mean a thing. Quite on the contrary, after being kicked out of NMCSD care, the blood test ordered by my new PCP, showed the PSA result of 13+%. What a surprise! He expressed his concern, obviously 180 degrees out from NMCSD point of view, to get a biopsy. Immediately, got a senior Urologist at UCSD, who got me tested and confirmed the results to be consistent. The UCSD Urologist wanted to educate the medical team at NMCSD. Maybe he should have. Talk about professionals, I am lucky to have made the correct choice to go to UCSD along with the recommendation of my daughter who is at Johns Hopkins Medical School. The normal "poke from behind" was performed without feeling an enlargement nor possible tumor. I thought I was out of the woods.  UCSD recommends a biopsy, breaking my heart, but I made the immediate decision to go ahead and do it, just to make sure. 

(I will write about the biopsy experience in another blog.)

AHA! Results came out to be ST1c, meaning still confined with the sheathing of the prostate.

I am really bitter about how the military hospital has treated me regarding this issue. I am sure that there are others who have the same experience. This is unfortunate. I've always had confidence in the validity of the actions of the military. Now with the VA scandals, it confirms my fears that there are bad policies that need changed to save the lives of veterans. I am quite glad they kicked me out of NMCSD (other military members get their medical care from NAVCARE), because it allowed me to get myself checked by someone competent and more caring. 

Like any other entity, there are bad apples and good apples in the basket. My spouse so far has had good experience. She's now in Medicare too and Tricare for life. Thank God! We're setting up to have our PCP at UCSD.

Obama Crusade ISIS

What is wrong America? Disappointed to have a lemon for a POTUS? He's no leader but a great follower. He waits for things to happen and that's because he is not a mover nor shaker. Passive and wait to be beat up first before he acts. Well, ISIS is at our backdoor. He will get it in the A*s and that's when he will act. Too Late. Sad for America to have a disappointing POTUS. I pray for America that 2016 will not be too late to save it after all the damage Obama has done.This is a President surrounding by MORONS and RACISTS. The political agenda is emotionally tainted the racist rants and love for the Islamist Extremists. Unbelievable that Mr. Obama justifies the genocide done by ISIS is acceptable for him and parallels that with the crusades. I am wondering how Mr. Obama travelled from Mars to Earth. Nano-nano. I can parallel him with Kim Jun Un who lives with all the luxuries and Obama living in fantasy land that his administration is "doing great!" I think "crack" is catching up with him. Terrible President!

Mr. Obama and Islam Extremists

What is wrong with America? Are all of you BLIND? Don't you see what this POTUS is doing? Setting free the enemies of America? WHY? He is aiding the our enemies? Are you not suspicious that he is a Muslim aiding his brothers and trying to be subtle about it? WAKE UP! ENOUGH TALK! We have the biggest terrorist running our country!

Mr. Obama a COWARD

Only a COWARD would  look away when these radical Muslims are killing Americans. These people have been at war with the rest of the world, they call Infidels, since the Crusades. Only cowards would dare to appeace these Barbarians. Mr. Obama you got your tail between your legs when it comes to dealing with these criminals. Why? Are they your comrades? Do you believe in what they believe? Putin has no respect for you! That's because you are weak and submissive! To fight ISIS or ISIL, the first step is to have America led by a strong and decisive leader. You are not that Mr. Obama! We don't want COWARDs like you leading this great country. Give up your post who would protect Americans and the interest of the U.S.A. Follow the footstep of your henchman, Mr. Holder. That will be good for the country and the world.

Eric Holder Resigns!

This calls for a celebration! A celebration for freedom from incompetent and corrupt government officials! More to go in this weak WH. POTUS should be next. Set America free from your inadequate leadership that this country bring back the glory that you have tarnished.

Goodbye Mr. Holder. I hope they prosecute you for your criminal misdeads and put you behind bars. I hope that you pay for your corruption and extreme racial prejudice. America should not make the same mistake of allowing the likes of Mr. Holder to any government office!

Why Obama Does Not Listen to his Generals?

Why? Is he conniving with the terrorists? Is he giving them a chance to win? Is he really a U.S. President who will preserve our way of life or is he Pro-Sharia? The actions of Mr. Obama is totally questionable maybe he is a Muslim after all and do not want to harm them? All mouths and no action. Stingy at that if any. America is in danger while he is the POTUS!

America the Weak

The underskirt is now showing- our WEAKNESS! Contradictions, caused by Mr. Obama's arrogance, between WH and the Generals. An incompetent POTUS not listening to the experts of war and security. We are now relying on a community organizer to protect our country, now a paper tiger. If he is ever impeached, the next in line would be another moron. America is stuck between a rock and a hard place. We have placed ourselves in this position by voting for these tyros and arrogant imbeciles. Only us, AMERICANS, can undo this! Then we can lead the world again by voting for leaders whose goal is to protect the United States and not promote their political ambitions. Vote to take back America and restore the GLORY we had before this administration took over using lies and deceit.
