Wishing you all the best. I've been tested for the BRCA mutation, but I don't have it. I'm lucky to be pain free so far despite extensive bone mets. 22 cycles of chemo so far and expecting a different treatment early next year. Like you, we are living life to the fullest, 3 weeks at a time.

You are a person who I admire and applaud. Your attitude is exceptional for anyone stuck with this despicable disease cancer. Your positive attitude helps you and your family cope. Keep up the fight and keep seeing the beauty all around you.

You are amazing!! Please share with us some of the beautiful things you now see in your life. I too believe that the other side of the sword is just as you say. We now see and experience life in a different way. Most never get to experience this and live their entire life in a broad stroke, kind of dull way. We get to live in appreciation, with a sense of eagerness, with kindness and acceptance. You bceagle are my role model. Charlie

Great info Nalakrats , I saved to my pc . I have been Gene Mapped but they only found a hedge hog mutation which was not really that significant.

Hi Nalakrats,

I tried going to Tapur.com but is a EN/JP site for a skype plug in, is Tapur.com the correct url?

Thanks

just a comment--Smilow (affiliated w Yale in New Haven, CT). is getting ready to do a clin trial w/ olaparib and another drug at the same time. You may wish to contact Dr. Joseph Kim (see NCT02893917, NCI-2016-01346, Olaparib With or Without Cediranib in Treating Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer on Clinical Trial website). Peace.
