The Good Lord and Provenge apparently did the trick. Scan results showed zero cancer anywhere. Pissing normally.

Hello Crabcrusher,

That's a great response to Provenge, if Provenge is the cause of your scan results. Reading your previous posts it looks like you've been on the drug for six months. Have you taken any other drugs since starting Provenge? What was your PSA at the time you started Provenge? Do you know what it is now?

Thanks.

Alan

Psa 2.2 I think. Have no idea what it is, now. He didn't mention it. He took me off ADT for 6 weeks, though.

Thanks for the info. I hope the Provenge helps.

Also, I presented a plan which had me stopping HT/xtandi for 3-4 weeks between doses to clean out my liver.

IMO all those techniques may have helped, I don't know. The difference was made evident as I thanked the Lord daily for my disease; it brings me so much closer to Him.

Great news!

It also lowered my psa much to my shock as all I had ever read was that it had no effect on psa numbers.

Here’s to ZERO!🥳🥳

Metastatic. Castrate resistant. Treat by Dr Rosenfeld at Highlands Oncology in Fayetteville, AR. Was on lupron and xtandi for a few months and symptoms kept worsening. Documented here. Came up with a plan to quit lupron/xtandi for a month every cycle and he ok'd it. So'd God. Yay!

I agree....Nothing like a good piss when you wake up in the morning, but remember to get out of bed first....

That's just great. Seems like most say there is no apparent psa change etc. Probably my next step. Will get psa tomorrow. Been steady at 0.1 and last scans show cancer is "stable". Unfortunately they also showed that the rest of me was falling apart. Seems to be a race at what's going to get me. I've got my jogging shoes on.

Hahaha what’s going to get me first ? That is the question answer unknown . Stay on your toes amigo ... “ the rest of me falling apart” I can relate 😂
