My RO, Dr Mariscal, was able to enroll me in this at no charge😁natera.com/oncology/signate...

They took biopsy samples from March and created a ctDNA profile to use for recurrence detection 🤔

So, gonna do quarterly blood draws to compare with the original 🙏

Fight on

QoL on

I don't understand what is going on with these people. Apparently, other members are receiving messages like this also. It's just unfathomable to me.

By the way, your dinner looks delicious.

Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to many.

scout4answers received a similarly odious reply to his 75th birthday post as well. A name of a previous but moved away member was included as source .

This group is old men dying from cancer , plus their heartbroken significant others / caregivers. you need to be pretty callous to talk to men like us like that. They indict themselves with their own words.

Talk like that is disgusting and totally uncalled for …. Ima sorry you had to see that garbage buddy.

I saw the one on Scout's post and reported it, I took screenshots of mine and his and have the Screenname (Tex_Mex_Crack) and then the jerk said "Nal says high"

Oh, Yea what a d*ck move to be so vulgar/hateful in a Community with men suffering with PCa and their Loved Ones.

Maybe Karma will get him in the end ...with a dirty prostate biopsy probe LoL

I'm cool, no worries my Bruddah

Life is still Beautiful despite the f'in Trolls

just shine it on buddy , you know that most of here love you and don’t echo those sentiments even remotely. That person might need geriatric syndrome medical intervention. Clearly that isn’t normal human behavior.

The one for scout had a “ Anonymous “ screen name when I saw it.

Forgetaboutit…. Brother Randy, we love you …keep up the good stuff.

Such venom and for what purpose? To demean a PCa victim who's trying to boost his own mood and the others here.🤔 with QoLing

I'm jealous man. Always a unique cultural event and various cultures in your small community. I've traveled the world and I'm all about living in a melting pot. Life is just not as rich otherwise.

The CTDNA test is cool. I am very glad to be getting it periodically while in the trial I'm on. Its not really an SOC/insurance covered test normally.

The racism I will rant too long if I get started. I saw the one aimed at Scout and Coco yesterday also. Just sickening. The one aimed at you the same. These are flat out the most disgusting racist comments and have a political bent to them as well. Scary times. You'll persever I bet. My son who is half held his own growing up. We can almost laugh at it now how during the time we lived in a small town people thought he was Mexican, American Indian, or Chinese ( he's half Japanese) so he got to experience about 3 forms of racist diatribes from time to time.

Doc, You never fail to impress. Keep up the good work, most of us love you.

Plus, looking at your food pic, the loser troll got your heritage wrong. Keep on being you

Mahalo Bruddah CB😁, just living large and as I said above I was just wandering and saw the crowd and as soon as I got close I saw Diane the little Japanese pt in front of the Church whom I took a selfie with LoL, ya know how I hate that😜

Then they started to process down the street for the Feast of Corpus Christi - I just joined in and knew that I coulda been a better Church goer, so I counted this aa attendance. Just like staying at the Mission in Ventura during the Spanish mass.

I'm a novice Foodie and love to try and cook different cuisines. I'm sure y'all noticed over my years of QoL Food Porn 🤣

Also, I'm so not a commie LoL. Grandparents left Southern China for a better life in Hawaii. G'pa was a Sgt in Army, my dad US Army, Younger bro in Air Force, and my #4 boy a Marine with 2 tours in Afghanistan.

The Signatera looks interesting but did not see PC listed on their site. Did you get in as part of studying their product on PC?
