Enjoy your life dear Sir...

remember zytiga is temporary not permanent. maybe get a couple of years. my testosterone is 3 but psa is 47. your goal is live as long as possible and try all treatments because there is no cure at this time

Charles' comment may be a valid statistic for Zytiga; however, a personal anecdote from me is very tempting: I was diagnosed in 2012, G8, stage 4 with 2 mets to the pelvic bone and one left pelvic lymph nodule. I am on Lupron and still hormone sensitive with low PSAs. I have never needed Zytiga. My MO and my urologist have both seen me in the last month and told me to have a great summer. So Charles can be a Voice of Doom, but have a GREAT SUMMER! (Full Disclosure: I take 14 scoops of IP-6 daily in two divided doses on an empty stomach mixed vigorously in very cold water.)

Such a great feeling to see those numbers go down and validate you treatment choice.
