One year post diagnosis

It's been a year since I was diagnosed Gleason 10. 6 rounds of chemo and lupron every 3 months. Waiting on trial using Talazoparib with Enzalutamide. Feeling fine, occasional urinary issues and a unrelated shoulder impingement which has me in physical therapy. Most days I do what I do, but there is this nagging feeling of why do it. I look around and can see why, loving wife, beautiful daughters with their families, and a dog that is my constant companion. Just hanging strong and enjoying everything. There is a purpose for my having this cancer and doing the fight. Thanks for letting me rant a bit.

My sister told me that terminal cancer is like walking off a cliff. All you can do is keep flapping your arms and hope you learn to fly. :)

Fight on brother because in the next few years, we will have several new classes of drugs that can be added to Zytiga, Xtandi, etc....buying us time... These will be drugs that can be taken at the same time as the drugs that we have now...Life is good so hug that family and the doggie too and fight...

You joined the gladiator division.... fighting is what we do to live...and thrive... Best of luck getting into the trial....

I lost my Dad July 27th - I’d do anything to have even just one more day with him. ❤️. Continue to fight the fight - it sounds like you are winning 👊🏼

You're a MALE and you KOed the "why do it" syndrome, good job, .... I beat the tiny devils inside me by laughing at them and laughing all the time..... and just think how lucky you are since the number 808 is a palindrome.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
