Still above room temperature.

I am 77 years young. I've had metastatic prostate cancer for 27 years. I had radiation seeding that lasted 5 years. Went on Lupron injections for another 5 years. My oncologist put me on endaludamide which I am currently using. I had the provenge treatment 3 months ago. Not a bad experience at all. The only hard part is having to sit still for 4 hours. The cost was $170,000. Over the course of 27 years, I figure the cancer has cost somewhere in the neighborhood of a million dollars. My cost was next to nothing because the veterans administration paid for 99.9% and has given me great care. Anyone say anything bad about the VA hospital, I'm healthy enough to punch them in the mouth.

I don’t see where your mets are mentioned. Where are they located??

Va guy here, G. company Rangers, Da Nang.

I thank God for the VA on a regular basis. Without them, I'd be either broke or dead or both.

Hi Pokeragain

Great results at 27 years and counting 👍

Your docs did a good job and your body responded very well to the meds.

Keep it up with the exercises too!

❤️

Her one eye was fake therefore her reply to "honey do you think maybe some time soon?" she would reply "okay dear I'll keep an eye out for you".....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Again, why do you call your PCa “metastatic”? There is no mention of your mets in either your profile or previous posts.
