A fun couple of days 😁Had MRI guided biopsy with a side of Ativan on Thursday. A long time pt and her Mom drove me there and back. Looking for mutations to target.

PSA up 50% again to 13.2, the highest since 05/2015, 39 chemos didn't work 😜

Made a White Clam Pizza (Bechamel with Pecorino Romano cheese) after seeing it on "Beat Bobby Flay" my a.m. elliptical workout show

Did 10k hike, cuz F it all 😂

Fight, Live, Love, Laugh, and QoL on

The nurse said about 4 or 5 days, I assume that they're having a 3rd party lab run the genetic panelHad a Color one done last Fall, and nothing found. MO wanted actual tissue sampled not saliva

Still Blessed to still be here 8 years in 💙

wow .. what the heck just happened ? I wrote two or three paragraphs back to you and they just vanished right in front of my eyes …. !!!!

So anyway , I said …. I know you’ll be anxiously awaiting those results back … I know I would. It’s like Carlosbach said below , you’re still very ambulatory and able to get out and jump into those fun QOL things easily , being that fit scares those PCa bugs and makes them skedaddle . I’d bet that TA has some great thoughts for you as well.

Even if you ever did run out of options … like my friend Mark ( Urang on this group ) , the V.A. sent him home to home hospice. He enjoyed puttering around his garden , computers and just plain the joy in life for an additional 3 years. Lived with PCa for 22 years, even back in the medieval treatment era for this disease.

You’ve done very nicely to this point…… even with those ole twists and turns, I suspect that you have a lot left in that ole life tank buddy , …. a “ lot “ more gas in your miles and smiles tank as well. Just say’in

❤️❤️❤️

You're not the only one who has had text vanish!!

Really don't think that the genetics path will pan out, but well, maybe :-)

Still a lotta Life and QoLing left in me. I'm so grateful to still be able to do QoL stuff . Not running on empty yet

QoL on for one more day, things'll go your way

Darryl has been informed of problem, and so has tech dept. I thought they had claimed to have solved the problem....I think Darryl confronted same problem. As unyielding as the damn PCa critter!

Dockam - Pizza looks great - all the chemo in your case you were able to tolerate and has prolonged the life - you have been very positive and are doing much more than most people in terms of being active.... enjoy a few beers with your pizza....

Great QOL post. Made me get out in Florida sunshine this morning and walk 3+ miles. Only gained 3 pounds here so far. Quality of belly not so great.

FYI: I do sing in the sunshine. More importantly, I laugh every day. My life motto: If you aren't laughing, you aren't living. Feel free to borrow it brother.

I sing/laugh like all the time, my dental patients either love it or just humor this old guy with PCa

Doc, I’m sorry your PSA went up. I hate that kind of news, so did Jims, now at 18. ! That’s what we did, came home, had a delicious dinner and watched “Where the crawdads sing”. Great book and wonderful movie❤️
