Back story: Dx at 57 in 01/2015 with GL 7(4+3), Stage IV - Mets to L ureter lymph nodes, PSA @840. 30 months ADT, 15 Taxotere chemos got a nadir of 0.1 in summer 2017. Back on ADT, but PSA went from 3.8 to 4.3 this month. Gonna try some things and check again in June. Next Lupron on 05/31.
Back home in Hawaii seeing the fam and eating local foods I miss. Did the Hibiscus half marathon in my fastest time post Dx. Who needs Testosterone? No cares for now, no thoughts of mortality here 😊
Be well Brothers and Fight on✌️

Great news fellow warrior! I also made it to 62 today!. In early 2016 diagnosed with stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer, T3N1. Had surgery, radiation Lupron and Zytiga with prednisone. Overall doing fine but they found a “spot” in my lungs.
One thing in common is making the most out of life!
Happy birthday! All the great men were born today 62 years ago today!
( OK, there are also a lot of other great men born on other days as well. Let’s face it, we are all great!)
I was Dx at 56 & remember 62 as a milestone (starting to get some of my Social Security contributions back). Then 65 (Medicare-eligible). And so on. Next milestone for me: 75 (I'm 71). Can't imagine going much further, but I have been lucky so far. I hope you will be too.
I was diagnosed at 63 yrs., had 42 radiations, in 2011 they found metastases and 30 more radiations and 6 1/2 years of Lupron (Eligard). Last Christmas Eve my oncologist called me and told me I no longer have cancer! What a ride for eleven years but I feel much better now. Happy Birthday and just keep truckin'.
Since you have already been accepted for SSDI on the basis of your metastatic prostate cancer, you already qualify for what is called an "Access Pass". See this link and expand the section called "Access Pass". You can pick one up at a park, or do it by mail for an extra fee.
Your Pass will also be good for some others who may travel with you, and perhaps for other perks and discounts related to visiting sites with a motor home, etc.

I just love saying that 😊
