Newest PSA/NEWEST AXUMIN PET SCAN...STABLE

[greatjohn]

I asked my oncologist today if my stage 4 aggressive prostate cancer is "very" aggressive. His answer was...I have patients with more aggressive...lol. At least I don't win the prize for the MOST--Thank you Jesus🥳--but I guess that means it's still a motherf#@k%r.😩

That said...PSA ONLY WENT UP A LITTLE....from 3.00 to 3.08🍒🍒🍒

AND my Axumin pet scan only looks..."not too bad" to quote him. Basically no new mets, but some look more awake(increased radio tracer uptake) than last time.😳

Off tomorrow on a 5 week grand tour of the USA...driving, Gate1 motorcoach tour, train, boat...and airplane home to Ft Lauderdale from Sacramento.

Feeling great. Life is Beautiful.

Joy to all!

[greatjohn in reply to HOPEFULSPOUSE]

I would expect that response from a "fashionista"...LOL. Thanks Emily. It's true...and I am "magnanimous". (a la Mrs. Slocombe/Are you Being Served)

[henukit]

Glad to hear, John! (Does that Russian Standard Vodka have anything to do with it? )

[greatjohn in reply to henukit]

it fully might...I DO plan to have a few dirty martinis on the rocks with olives....they're a great mood enhancer, I find ! ! ! LOL.

Stable is indeed good....but keep scanning and destroying it with available resources.....I know someone Mike Hawker that had 3 months to live....metastases all over the body.....today he is completely free....and he had the small cell stuff....most agressive... kept going to Mayo for Choline scans....as they found stuff they kept destroying it with radiation and other means....I'm doing the same....went to Mayo, found the spots and destroyed it with radiation and lupron....good luck my friend...u can do it too

[greatjohn in reply to georgef16]

I think I can, think I can 🥳🥳🥳

Good to hear you're stable and not in one.... Enjoy your 5 week grand tour around the U.S. and remember that you won't need a passport to visit any of them (yet).

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[greatjohn in reply to Bodysculpture]

this post was a year ago...had a blast...except for emergency room in Nashville and then the Emergency room at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota...followed by 3 more days in the hospital there....and I left the Mayo Clinic ( for the rest of a 5 week "tour") with a Foley catheter....Yipes. But I made it!
