2 years today

[leo2634]

Good morning Brothers today is my two year anniversary with this terrible decease. I was diagnosed February 27th a date which will forever be branded in my brain. I have been fortunate enough to have found a Doctor and his team that truly cares for the survival if his patients. My only treatments so far have been ADT Zytiga, Eligard ,Xgeva ,and Provenge. My PSA has been steady at 0.1 since first month treatment ,extensive bone Mets through out most of my body have been stable and lymph nodes have subsided to undetectable.

My brothers I can tell you. I've been married to the best woman for 45 years and we have been through some tough things together but this one is by far the ultimate test of love and compassion. I thank God everyday for my wonderful wife. So my Brothers keep on fighting the good fight. Happy Anniversary to me I will have a drink in honor of you all Never give up never surrender. Leo

I know what you mean. My wife is my love, my friend and my medical advocate. Bravo to all the wives.

Keep fighting.

It’s my two year anniversary today too. I clearly recall my urologist’s look of concern when I received my bad biopsy results on February 27, 2018. After 44 high-dose IMRT treatments and two years of ADT my treatment is finally ending. I’m looking forward to the return of my testosterone and hopefully not anything else.

I’m about a year ahead of you with the same treatment except 44 EBRT!

Took about 9mo to a year to get rid of most side effects.

ADT kicked my A$$ and my head. A$$ is better.... head..... not so much!!!

Best of luck and I pray for good numbers as you rebound!!! It was a long few years for me and feels good to be off the juice!!!!

It's definitely a lifestyle change to say the least . I'm not the same man I was two years ago bit the key word is life I'm still alive and kicking.

Never give up never surrender. You greeted me with those words and I think of them often. Congrats on the two year & thanks for the inspiration!

Let's hope you're here to celebrate your 20th year fighting and winning. That would mean you will be with your wonderful wife for 65 years. At that point I think you'll be able to relieve her from mowing the lawn... painting the house.....and waxing the car. Have a drink on me..... Cheers and Roebuck.......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
