Update on my father

[jberg22]

I just wanted to post a quick update on my father. He has metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer. He’s been on ADT - Eligard shots every 3 months and prednisone + zytiga everyday. It’s challenging as I work with him and see all the ins and outs of his behaviour while on those meds.

He remains undetectable on the psa scale as of now (<0.02) Diagnosis in 2019 . I’m happy for him and this post is just to celebrate that he is doing well. He turned 70 in April and I serenaded him with Mariachi and he loved every second of that. He’s a fighter , the smartest person I’ve ever known. I wanted to champion his progress as in.. he’s doing great and it isn’t always as dark as it seems. I wish you all well.

Hi there, he doesn’t have any mets according to the latest scans.

Great news for you and your father!! I thought that castrate resistant meant that the PSA rose even on hormone therapy.

[Bronzee]

great news ! Keep on fighting!

thank you , jberg22, for posting some upbeat warrior news. It’s good to see both of you hanging in there and things are good for now. He sounds like a warrior and your love for him is very strong. It seems we hear too little positive news here sometimes . I hope this “ good “ period lasts a long time…. For both of you. Your father is very lucky to have you at his side brother.

Best wishes

❤️❤️❤️

You are so kind to share such good news. Always picks me up to hear positive news. I was diagnosed in 2019 as well. All the best to you and your father!

[Tinuriel]

Worth celebrating! Thanks for sharing.

[Bethpage]

Thank you for sharing good news. It helps all of us!

[WhatHump]

Your father is doubly blessed: his treatment is working, and, perhaps more importantly, he has a loving loyal son. I’m certain the latter helps the former. My respect to you.

Nice to hear some good news. Congratulations! I hope all goes well ging forward...

[TJGuy]

Glad he is doing well. Question, if he is castrate resistant what treatments have kept his PSA so low?

[Billiegirl11]

That is so beautiful to hear! I'm very curious to know if he was vaccinated or boosted for covid? Not political at all, but I just lost my dad yesterday and I'm heartbroken and so confused by how fast it happened and how many crazy complications were involved.. I want to get to the bottom of this chaos it seems to be happening to too many people these days..Again, I am thrilled to hear your news! I wish to hear more of this type. My thoughts of best wishes will be going out to all in my time of mourning...
