November 2010 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer already out of the prostate. Christmas time I had Robotic removal of prostate and surrounding area. I was 65 at the time. Results were good until 2012 when psa came back hard and fast. Had hormone shot in stomach which made my eyes go in circles and fall to the left no warning. Quit hormones and had 48 rounds of Radiation. Psa went down but would jump up every 3 months and had pills I went on for next 3 months and would be good again. Worked until Nov, 2019. Dec psa shot up, started Lupron shots but still went up. Psa doubling in 3-1/2 weeks in April. Scans show started in pelvis bones and limp nodes. Started Zytiga with lupron and pregnzone. Age 75 and going to see how this plays out
