Remission ongoing

I'm glad to share some positive health news: I'm currently in ongoing remission. I've recently updated my personal profile to reflect these developments. A particularly significant milestone for me is the normalization of my neutrophil granulocyte levels, which came unexpected.

Interpretation: A.I. suggests it's easier if you read maps backwards.

Turns out it's just spam.

Congrats! I'm pretty much in the same boat, immense gratitude for the care I have received.

Congratulations on your successful treatment. If and when your testosterone returns to normal levels you will know if it's actually by definition a remission, but after what you've been through, stabilized where you are is very good.

Many men never recover their T and don’t use TRT, simply preferring to live without it. Depends on how much it means to you. Knowing it is the primary fuel (at least initially) for Pca makes for an easy- or difficult-decision if T comes back.

Nusch in reply toLondon441

I won’t recover, for more details pls read my bio. If PSA stays away for the next three years I might start TRT.

London441 profile image
London441 in reply toNusch

I didn’t understand from the bio that you won’t recover but I certainly understand why you wouldn’t. I endorse the TRT, and would get it if I were you. I’m waiting until a certain length of remission before getting an implant, but I’m thinking of doing it sooner. Life is short! Best to you on continued good health.

Nusch in reply toLondon441

I’ve had total orchiectomy, therefore no natural testosterone any more.

ulfhbg profile image
ulfhbg in reply toLondon441

Well, I think having for example < 0.1 or having ’undetectable PSA’ I think it’s called biochemical remission.

I also think that if for example a PSMA Pet Scan and / or A mpMRI shows no signs of active cancer that, I think, is called clinical remission

Anyway hope Nusch stays on his remission for a long time so that after some year an even talk functional Cure 👍😀

They are truly all good. Biochemical, clinical, total, all of it. I hope the same.

Good for you, Nusch. How long were your neutrophil granulocye levels out of whack? Do you know the cause of that?

Nusch profile image
Nusch in reply togaryjp9

They were low since my first chemo therapy starting 12/2017. With low I mean between 1.7 and 1.9. Now they are 4,8.

congrats Nusch, I also read your bio and I doesn’t say that you have advanced stage 4 metastatic cancer with distant Mets, did I read it wrong.

Nusch profile image
Nusch in reply toHobierat

Thank you, Hobierat! You’re absolutely right. My prostate tumor extended beyond the prostate and had spread to the seminal vesicles and some nearby lymph nodes. However, CT or bone scans never confirmed metastases beyond these areas. At the time, PSMA PET wasn’t available, so we can’t say for certain.

THAT IS GOOD NEWS! Exercising and eating healthy will also help keep your cancer in remission from now on.

Let’s hope so! All the very best for you, too!
