Enrolled in phase 2 clinical trail for neoadjuvant Enoblituzumab

[RazorSaw]

This community has been a lifeline for me since my diagnosis in July 2024. Short timer, but you all have been invaluable. Thank you.

In my bio you can see that I had a rapid workup after a PSA in July that was over 30. The diagnostics were done well, and I sought a second opinion early on at Mayo Clinic in Rochester. My local urologist in my initial appts was too pessimistic for my tastes. Sort of old school. But I did meet other doctors and advanced care practitioners at the UW Madison Urology and Oncology departments who were top notch. Very impressive. The treatment plans they offered were SOC and the RO had an aggressive 'hit it hard' approach.

I chose to be screened and volunteered to be part of this study. clinicaltrials.gov/study/NC...

My treatment plan will run it's course based on the trial requirements. 12 weeks of the drug, followed by the RP. I'm glad to be in the treatment arm. 😏 I'll keep you all posted on how it goes.

To all of you who have suffered with this disease I offer my empathy. It's been difficult for me to resume living, but now that I have a plan, I'm breathing easier. Many of you have been good examples to me. Your candor, your good will, your humor, and especially your level of knowledge are inspiring.

But above all, your courage and resilience is what I find most inspiring.

💞From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all the best.

Good to know you are breathing easier. In the beginning the mental part is the worst, at least it was for me. My urologist was pretty pessimistic. I dropped him right after the surgery.

I went through RP,+ 6 weeks of radiation and 2 years of Lupron and Zytiga. It has been 6 years since I was diagnosed with Gleason 9 and still undetectable. Living a pretty normal life with a normal diet. Good luck with the trial. I am sure you will do great!

We thank you for your compliment's regarding our site and our members advice, information and our humor (especially the humor). We wish you excellent results during and after your 12 clinical trial and your RP.

p.s. So now you have to make me a customized wooden plaque which says "Funniest Guy in The World" signed "Your Friend".

Note it's should be signed Friend and not Friends, cause I'm 88 years old and I only have one friend left.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Thank you kind sir. Nuttin like 30's babies ( October 1936) ......... Depression and WWII. Let me wish your dear Grandma a happy and a healthy 88. And just think I could have dated your Grandmother. And if you're a good dude, remember the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Ask her if she remembers this old rhyme (if she does, she may smile a little).

Don't kiss by the Garden Gate,

Love is Blind but the neighbors Ain't.
