Never get tired of annoucing I am STILL undetectable

108 bottles of Zytiga on the shelf. Got my latest PSA and blood test results. Once again, officially 8 years 9 months since November 2014 results, PSA still undetectable at <.008. Another Zero candy bar for me. (I bought a few, and been handing them out like cigars after a new birth.)

I have had somewhat mor energy since we scaled back my Abiraterone dosage to 500 mg a day instead of 1,000 mg. Dr Tanya Dorff says stay the course, no additional combination drugs or trials for me. She says I am doing remarkably well.

I asked about the news release from City of Hope a new drug said to attack solid tumor cancer cells and keep healthy cells healthy.

She said the trail is still in Phase 1 and has a long way to go, (it works in a petry dish) so I say ..hoping for the best for everyone, there is always hope, and as Jimmy V always said, keep hope alive!

Keep the Faith Brothers!W e are all, in this together!

Great news, I feel the same, over the moon to be undetectable. I'm going to celebrate 10 years in October, with a nice Irish whiskey 🥃or two😋.

I wish you well 🙂

How did they shrink The Mets? No spine surgery? All with lupron and zytiga?

How about diet ?
