Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and PSA still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation. In the meantime I also had lymphoma and received four R-CHOP chemo cycles, two cycles of CNS prophylaxis and two additional cycles of monoclonal antibodies Rituximab only. Pet/CT shows complete remission. So this is something to celebrate and fills my tanks of hope for the future.

Many thx! It was a busy summer. I’ve had different plans such as riding our boat through the islands of Croatia. But so what. Just postponed, not cancelled.

Thx TA, you are supporting my way with your great advice! More feel like fighting them and keeping them under control than beating them. But it could have gone a lot worse, I agree. DLBCL came as a surprise this May. I was lucky that we found & caught it before it spread. At least from what we could see from Pet/CT, lumbar puncture and bone biopsy.

By the way: Between PC radiation and lymphoma regimen I’ve had 40 visits & sessions with a great dentist to repair all my teeth - 28 crowns and two bridges. So I’m used to doctor visits. 😂 But don’t regret, they are looking great and fuel me every day.

Congrats Nusch! I'm a DLBCL survivor too. Diagnosed and treated in 2017. I often wonder if there's a connection between that and PCa.

Congrats, too! I was very surprised upon diagnose. What I read, the only connection could be a side effect of radiation therapy. But who knows. Let’s hope we stay in remission
