I am a 77 year old gay male, who was first diagnosed in December, 2005 with prostate cancer. I had a robotic prostatectomy February, 2006. Was good for several years when psa started climbing and I had radiation for 7 weeks. Ugh! Once again I was clear until the psa climbed again. Had radiation, Lupron and Zytiga prescribed for two years. My last Lupron injection was this past March. I will finish with Zytiga next month (July). My MO said, then we wait and see.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks
