Michael’s Story

Site created on January 23, 2023

Welcome to my CaringBridge website. As many of you know, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2022 and am being treated at Mayo Clinic. They recommended surgery and I will be having my prostate removed on February 8th. I am using this site to keep family and friends updated in one place. I appreciate your support and words of encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

Journal entry by Molly O'Connor —

Hey all,
Quick update from Molly.
We got good news! Mike got his 3 month PSA check-up, and it came back as >.1 (I.e., no cancer). 

Mike will continue to monitor his PSA for the next several years to make sure it stays the same, but we are celebrating this win. 

Mike and I are finding our new normal. There are days where we forget that this whole prostate cancer thing even happened (was it a dream??), but then things happen and we’re like, “oh yeah, it def happened.”

We love you all! Thanks for keeping in the loop. 


- Molly
