Hello I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in September 2017. I had a PSA of 489. As of today I am 1.2. I had 6 rounds of chemo and 10 days of radiation treatments and continuing to receive Lupron shots every 3 months, xcheva shot every month and taking casodex pills every day. I also had Hodgkin’s disease back in 1987. I beat that and plan on doing the same with prostate cancer.
