Almost five years and still fighting.

Started out with an enlarged prostate and quickly rising numbers. Theres a lot of Cancer in my family so biopsied and definate Cancer. Had a Radical Prostectomy. The numbers didn't go down so went through something like 32 or so Radiation treatments. The numbers went down a bit gave me hope and a break. At my year appointment with Oncology... my numbers were climbing quickly again. There were no signs as to where the Cancer is now.  So now I'm doing the Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT). After 3 injections my numbers are going down again. Keeping my fingers crossed and waiting for the next pitfall. Oh and I too had the Artificial Urinary Sphincter surgery.
