17 months into treatments still 0.1 PSA.

Thank you God, and of course my medical team headed by:

Dr. Gordon Brown:

My treatment so far have been Zytiga, Prednisone, Eligard,Xgeva for bone Mets, and most recently three rounds of Provenge. I have been 0.1 since first month treatment. I was in extreme pain at my first visit which has subsided to nearly nothing.

I'm not promoting my course of therapy because as we know we all share the same affliction but the beast is sneaky about what works for some of us and not the others.

My treatments seem to be doing what they are intended for but not without serious consequences which we all know about so I'm not going to list them mostly because I want this post to be positive.

So my Brothers I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July go have a beer and a burger forget the beast for one day. God bless America. Never give up never surrender. Leo
