Congratulations, keep up the good fight.

After 13 I am at a rough stage, but my brothers-of-the-bonny-blue-ribbon continue to encourage me.

That's fantastic roncyn and very encouraging! I see that in your last post (2 years ago), you were on reduced dose (1 tablet) Xtandi and doing well. Your Bio doesn't mention Xtandi (seems to stop in 2020). Are you still on Xtandi? I'm interested because I've just started on it myself. Thx

roncyn in reply toJRPnSD

Agonist, used zolsdex 3 month shot along with a PSA and testosterone tests and when testosterone rises and PSA rises I went back on zolsdex. Sometimes I went 6 months to a year. Depending on the blood tests. I had the once a month.
