Day before halfway with 6 cycle Taxotere Chemo

What's up fellow travellers,

So just know going into this update I've been on this trip since 2009, gleason 9. No mets until late 2019(Lymph nodes). On Androgen blockers since 2012.

My labs continue to excel. In 6 weeks the PSA has dropped by 52 points, and all the Immune system, kidney, and liver function are doing very well too. When we started the Chemo I was in dead pain in the pelvic girdle area from the tumors pressing on nerves. Well that was gone after the first week.

I have energy! I had now idea how much those androgen blockers were taxing me. I am hopeful, and happy, and thankful.

I think the biggest thing to me is that after 8 years of putting this monster to sleep we are finally fighting! Now it's Mind, Body and Soul in communion right now beating the tar out of this beast.

Peace,

Bees
