A lil levity for HU and an update after Cabazitaxel #11. In 2001 my daughter and I were in "Friends" episode"The one with Monica's Boots"

Hey gang! #11 Cabazitaxel last Friday, but PSA climbed to 3.6 from 2.8 three weeks earlier :-(. T at 13.

AIS MO wants to get Kaiser to okay a PSMA, I'll settle for an Axumin (Had two already) if they won't cover it :-)

Have last chemo in two weeks and that will be the 33rd in 7 years and the d*mn PCa still around, wreaking havoc! But, still here, tho old data said a 28% chance of 5 years.

K, back to the "Friends" thingie. My daughter at age 8 was a background actress and has been in several movies and commercials, usually as part of a crowd, in a restaurant, or in this case a classroom.

That's me in the doorway in the brown overcoat, they asked parents to bring Winter gear to play background parts. My daughter is the young girl behind the girl in red.

Phoebe goes to the school to see about the rock artist "Sting" son being enrolled there, as she was conniving to get tix to a concert.

The episode is available on HBO Max and Amazon

RIP to all those that have passed.

Randy,

Wow, that’s amazing about your moment of fame on Friends. I am curious, does your daughter still act? Thanks for letting us know this about you.

As for your PCa, that’s incredible you’ve had that much chemo. My husband is still doing well after 6 rounds of Docetaxel and of course the continuing ADT. His PSA is still undetectable in the start of his third year of his Stage IV diagnosis. I hope he does as well as you and he is still going strong after 7 years. Keep on wreaking havoc dockam!

Thanks Randy. After reading the article, I’d say you’ve gotten more than the usual 15 minutes! I wish you well on your journey too. It’s men like you who give my husband and I hope.

Awesome Randy. You never cease to amaze me. I will definitely watch the episode. I'm still here after a little over 5 years. We are changing that old data. Don't you love being a statistic? I think the Xtandi may have run its course for me. Shall find out more in three weeks. Had decided Cabazitaxal would be next best treatment. Maybe Provenge thrown in at same time if Kaiser will go along with it. I think John Dunne meditated too much. I'm more of a "are the hot dogs ready? 2 hot dogs are for me" guy. I think of Hemingway every time I see that quote. I recommend the meditations of j-o-h-n. I have already ordered a clown suit. Hope to see you at the circus.

Hey, yea have lived an interesting life :-). Good luck with Cabazitaxel and maybe with Provenge that'll do it. Xtandi failed me in like 2 months in 2020 and then had 6 Taxotere sessions as a rechallenge and that failed alsoGood luck to you Brother

Is your daughter suing friends......for not fully showing you and her good looks and talent and thereby preventing you both from a lucrative career in show business?

Lol, a background actor gets whatever screen time they can. Before they shot the scene, I saw where the cameras were and put myself right in the view of them in that doorway. The producer placed the kids wherever he wanted

No wonder when I'm making a porno the producer always puts me in another room by myself. Thanks for the tip......

Hey monte1111,"I think the Xtandi may have run its course for me. Shall find out more in three weeks. Had decided Cabazitaxal would be next best treatment. Maybe Provenge thrown in at same time if Kaiser will go along with it."

If you need these meds and they don't work on you..... I'm gonna kick your ass, and at the same time teach you how to write the number four using Roman numerals..

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
