How are you still living

[rogerandme]

It’s hard to believe that you have been on this journey since 2007. Seems to me you’ve gone all around this cancer instead of dealing with it directly. I am also amazed that you are still in denial that this thing can kill you and amazed you are still alive…

50/50 chance of 5 years in 2016. Stage 4 with Mets in the sternum,spine and hip, as well as lymph nods. 63 months now and my 6 month checkup due Thursday. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Eyes wide open and keeping tabs on the dragon. No denial. Killing a dragon is hard and takes strategy. Sometimes it’s best to leave him in his cave as you recover from the last battle

Don't let j-o-h-n breathe on you.

[j-o-h-n in reply to monte1111]

But only if you want a quick tan........

Good Luck, Good Health and Good humor.

Four years here ADT and Provenge so far so good. PSA 0.1 since first month therapy. Zytiga, Eligard, Provenge. Multiple Mets, I was on Xgeva for Year but had to stop due to jaw bone problems. I had two oral surgeries done to remove dead bone caused by it. My doctor has doubled my Calcium I take to compensate so far all number are good. Never give up Never surrender. Leo

[rogerandme in reply to leo2634]

Is the bone due to cancer or the meds

[leo2634 in reply to rogerandme]

Xgeva

I'm not in denial. I know FULL well my end, as I saw it in my Dad.

That said I determined no to let it rule my life. I've got kids, Grandkids and a life to live. I give thanks to Jesus got every waking minute.

I was DXed in2014 at Gl-10 ALL cores positive, some up to 80+%, average of 50%.

Still hit the gym and when not raining I'll walk a few miles around town

[monte1111 in reply to Carp1707]

Walk a few miles around here and you'll probably be mugged twice.

[Carp1707 in reply to monte1111]

I live in a small town of working class folk that I greet as I go to PO, grocery store, hardware store. Most are tied into the logging community and have a regard for other people. You hold the door for others and wave at most people if you're driving through town.

[monte1111 in reply to Carp1707]

I am jealous. My small town days were long, long ago. Had a drive by shooting at house across the street a couple of months ago.

California Dreamin...

[monte1111 in reply to Hidden]

Probably j-o-h-n. Targeted the wrong house.

[Hidden in reply to monte1111]

Wrong side of the street...

[j-o-h-n in reply to monte1111]

Just me showing off again.......

Now that is funny. No one picked up the roach so the house probably burned down. My son burned my house down and stole my wife's car many years ago. Now he's sleeping on my couch. Usually with a roach in his hand. Insert video of roaches running everywhere. Snicker, snicker. Watch out for Ben. We've all heard about the Rats of New York. But what about the Roaches of Fresno? We get no respect.

[j-o-h-n in reply to monte1111]

I know it's none of my business but I would never tolerate what your son is doing.....but we all have crosses to bear.....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

[monte1111 in reply to j-o-h-n]

You are right. Everyone here has heavy crosses to bear. You wouldn't believe what my daughter was doing.

[Hidden in reply to monte1111]

In the local watering hole again. I always enjoy two mugs of Guinness.

[monte1111 in reply to Hidden]

A pitcher and a pizza. That's my mantra. Rogerandme is such a good sign on. I could write a novel about rogerandme.

[Hidden in reply to monte1111]

The title would be rogerinme

[monte1111 in reply to Hidden]

Now now. Let's be nice.

[Hidden in reply to monte1111]

A tinsywinsy bit of niceties.
