I thought that I would share the results of my blood draw yesterday. PSA continues at <0.1 and T is at 381.0.
I entered the war on May 8, 2004 with a PSA of 32.3 with mets to L2 & T3 of my spine. Through the grace of God, the power of Prayer, and a world class medical oncologist/researcher/professor and his clinical trial, after over 17 years, I continue to log in great reports.

gourd_dancer,I have known you on this forum since my diagnosis in 2015. The factors you have mentioned in the formula of your success I think have definitely helped you to save your life. Life is not only what you see but also beyond, what you don't see. The faith and belief! Every time you mark your presence, it sheds the light of inspiration and hope for many of us to feel we are entitled to live.

Great news. 🙏🙏🙏
That's encouraging. So you were in Advanced stage when diagnosed, and you're still responsive to the therapy. That is wonderful news to those of us relative " newbies" ( stage 4 diagnosed May 2019 PSA 629, Gleason 9, bone and lung mets started ADT with Zytiga Immediately PSA currently .28 & still falling. I sure hope and pray to be posting here for another 10+ years.
Congrats!! Thanks for acknowledging God!
You had chemo and ADT as primary treatment, correct.? I looked at several of your posts, but can't find any mention of the name of the chemo? Sorry if I missed it. Congrats and continued success!
Are we agnostics doomed?
Each course of chemotherapy lasts for 8 weeks. Patients were treated in weeks 1, 3, and 5 with doxorubicin 20 mg/m2 as a 24-hour intravenous infusion on the first day of every week in combination with ketoconazole 400 mg orally 3 times a day daily for 7 days. In weeks 2, 4, and 6, treatment consisted of paclitaxel 100 mg/m2 intravenously on the first day of every week in combination with estramustine 280 mg orally 3 times a day for 7 days. 30 mg of Prednisone everyday through the three courses of chemotherapy.
On behalf of myself and others, thanks for those details. If this was done in approx 2004-2005, are the official results now published?
"Are we agnostics doomed?"You still have time. Give it a trial and see.
I have prayed about this daily and maintain a<.01 PSA since treatment began. Looking forward to ending Lupron next month. Never underestimate the power of prayer
Wonderful and encouraging news👍🏻
I’m sure it will work for you. We can all use a miracle
Great!
Amazing and a source of hope! It’s scan & lab day for Denny. I pray for good news like yours.
You are the hope of many. Your faith in God is a testament to HIM.
Great news - I started this battle in 2002 - PSA is slightly rising to 0.5 after chemo.What trial were you in??? What are you taking now?
Thanks,
Tom
Tom, my last injection of Lupron was February 2010. I have posted previously on the Chemotherapy and Hormone Therapy trial. If you can’t find it let me know.
Thanks
Great, excellent news. I don't have a gourd to dance around, so I'll dance around my pumpkin. I wait patiently for The Great Pumpkin.
WOW!!! I give you permission to dance with my gourd....But no kissing...
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
