Wow great news continues. I think that long term effect of RT after the last appt. is in play big time. Its like the icing on the cake after all that chemo. Sure we never know for sure but man I just think you're gonna have very long term benefit from this. QOL, rock, and live on brother Randy.

Wow and Yea Babeee for your top ten% response, Congrats to you. Yea, weird to ponder that the RTs were over a year ago and I knew that SEs could pop up even years later, but didn't realize that the PCa would still be succumbing.

Imma keep goin Big to keep the PCa at bay and to keep on QoLing, singing, and Spreading Aloha

youtu.be/ti8VzieOApk?si=ttJ...

Mahalo Camp about adding "Loving" to that Tee

Think it was Kaliber who opined that cuz I was in healthcare field that the sympathy/empathy was already in me and so it was easy to apply to the PCa stricken. I believe raising five kiddos also contributed.

Hope no one minds my reviving your thread. I've been busy the last couple days though. (I've been tackling the paint finish on the hood of my car with Tom67 on my mind and had a great day driving today to a couple or three auto parts stores, finally stopped by the only live bait place I could find on the internet since I moved here 3 years ago and it is a great place and had fun conversation with the character owner and same thing with a guy at one of the parts stores. Even before my diagnosis my wife would sometimes say "do you have to be such an open book, leave some of you and I as a mystery will ya" lol.

Yea you know when guys who are diagnosed and unlike you with first treatment being RT they ask here often about PSA not coming down much 3 months or so after RT. Brother Allen always let them know the effect of the RT can continue to work for a year or so. So I think you'll still be killin all those devils no matter where they are hiding. Its like the treatment that keeps on giving or something lol.

thanks for bein here and doin all ya do

CAMPSOUPS profile image
CAMPSOUPS in reply toMouseAddams

The amount of AM radio station signal output was determined by licensing I think. Anyway at midnight some stations who had the power but not the license were allowed to push out more of the wattage signal at midnight until I don't know maybe 5 a.m. in the morning.

I spent most of my childhood in Iowa. A station in Little Rock Arkansas of all places boosted their signal at midnight (50,000 watts?) and I would be able to tune in. Their station was kind of like listening to Don Kirshner's 70's concert TV show.

Cute as a button. A patient I assume due to age. Being upright IS a big thing, as you say.

Probably an easier adjustment for a regular guy like me than such an athlete as yourself. You are still rolling hard on the up side of lucky …..count your lucky stars buddy.

She’s endured a lot too, it’s easy to see how it all got so screwed up. But here it is, ntl.

It’s hitting 115f today / lately here, prolly about time to head out to the coast. Just adds to the whole. Ima not traveling very well these days either.

All of us , you me and Randy , have faced gut checks lately. Even springs in the legs Randy faces the same doubts and worry we have.. we’re, all, “ scuffling to get a leg up “ as the saying goes. We’re, all, lucky in most respects tho …….. You hear how things could have been … here on the group …. From other guys that don’t last very long …. Hard to look around and think “ lucky “ tho …. Isn’t it.

Rotflol …… more like mini-din . 😁. I like the way you seem more upbeat as of late, no doubt in great part to the successful results of your latest treatment and those purdy low bug scores. It’s doesn’t get better ( with the current state of art treatments) for guys on this group….. than that buddy. Hopefully a lil bit of good karma payback for all those good deeds and nice guy activities. Love you back lil buddy. 🌺🌼🌹

I'm in Love... with Life and it's been S'marvelous even that 4 letter word WORK.

Have a great story:

Had the granddaughter of my hygienist in for a 2nd opinion - prev dds dx'd deep cleanings on a 16 yr old!!!😱

Did an xray, a quick exam and was totally BS Dx. I noticed that she was a "cutter" with dozens of scars on her forearms. I patted them and said "I know that you're hurting, but you don't need to keep hurting yourself" She nodded and when she stood up, I asked if I could hug her and she let me 💙 At fill appt, I numbed and we chatted about books, school, movies and fill went well and she left. Later hygienist came up and said that she was listening to us chat and was surprised as that's the most that she heard her talk since she came to visit.

Crazy fires near us

Congrats on kicking PC's ass dockam. Saw your Bio. very impressive. I see fasting is used. And you do a remarkable amount of cardio. Do you or have used Neulasta to keep White blood cell count up, do you use a port during chemo infusions? Do you use Ice cap etc.? Side effects from chemo? For you to withstand & succeed so much chemo is astounding. Continued success....Oh, also any particular diet? Thanks

Nope, no Neulasta WBC count was okay. RBCs and HGb a bit low but not crazy. I did maybe 30 marathons post diagnosis and I think that enhanced longevity

blog.athlinks.com/2017/05/1...

No port, just got jabbed over like 100x with blood work, chemo, scans😜

No ice cap, I did exercises during the chemo - leg lifts, squats, scissor kicks, jumping jacks. Would walk that night too. Never had neuropathy

Dietwise: whole grains, lean proteins, a rainbow of colored fruit/veggies. Did 16 hr fasting daily, sipped on homemade tomato, garlic, curry, cabbage broth til 1pm, then Broke Fast

Thank you for responding dockam. Remarkable, that you have such great success on Chemo with basically no side effects, while doing marathons, that's inspiring, continued success to you dockam

dockam in reply towolverine11

You're welcome and I'm an outlier, as far as the number of chemos and my body's ability to handle them🤔Still needed the 28IMRTs to hopefully get a durable remission.

Time will tell, and fingers crossed 🤞
