15 Months ago I had a psa of 850, 4 mets on bones, numerous lymph nodes infected, etc, etc. I figured I had maybe 24-36 months to live.
Yesterday after body scans, cat scans, etc, I was told all my nodes are normal size and my psa is undetectable.
Now i need something else to bitch to my wife about. Life is so damn unfair.
LOL Sometimes we need a little humor like this. Celebrate the victories!
Amazing, what treatment plan did you follow?
As soon as I was diagnosed, I started casodex the same day. 1 week later they pumped me full of Lupron. I then started the Lupron/Chemo treatment based on the e3805 trial results. 6 courses of docetaxel (85mg) 3 weeks apart. That lasted 18 weeks. I now receive Lupron every 3 months and continue to take casodex.
The quacks, I mean doctors told me my fetish for exercise and vegan lifestyle has helped a lot.
Going on chemo right away was the best thing I ever did. My oncologists couldn't believe that I continued to run 5 miles every other day while getting poisoned with chemo.
I'm going to die when it's my turn, not when cancer decides.
Going Vegan and exercise was a smart move....Congratulations on take charge of your health....God bless...
And I thought I was lucky after three months into Lupron injection and daily 50mg Casodex pills my PSA went from 139 to 0.28, no metastasis. Radiation begins next month. Nicely said and congratulations.
Congrats!! wishing I were you
Ha, Ha Ha. Isn't life tough.
None of us have an expiration date stamped on our heads, this is always important o remember,

I love that Joel . so hard to keep in mind when watching someone you love suffer as my dad is having a hard time with chemo for those of you that haven't done it, do not worry. my dad is also not eating right, taking on enormous stress and hes overweight and I feel that makes the difference too so don't be put off by my experience. thank Joel for the reminder
Amen brother....GOD bless & good luck!!!@
Similar treatments and results. Hang in there!
I love your humor and your recent advice to a fellow warrior to check back in ten years. xoxo congrats
Casodex with adt....for how long. that's a total androgen blockade correct? forgive me. I learn here
Undetectable PSA with bone lesions? 
And the number is...
PSA a cautionary tale
Starting PSA was 5,006.4
PSA slightly up after salvage radiation
