Excellent articles, especially the first one for me. I printed out a copy of it for my wife to read. Things are changing in the PCa treatment world. The article put most of the new stuff in perspective. Thanks, Nameless.

Your very welcome. I also like the first one because of the following statement, "a nadir PSA level < 0.2 ng/mL after 6 to 8 months of ADT was associated with a median overall survival (OS) of 75 months."

And they told me three years ago I had two years to live. Now, 75 months (6.25 years) seems to be the new median life span.
