An update on my situation...

After the relapse in 2016, I went through a series of scans and a fun trip to the Land of Lincoln for one, it was worth it though. Pretty much found out that I never had Mets in my rib, or for anything else either, but the PSA made it up to around 8 when I was vacationing from Lupron. And I knew I did not want to stay on Lupron. What the scans did show was the bright spot in the prostate. And I know I did not have a prostatectomy 10 years ago. So they planted a garden of seeds in the prostate. After 2-3 months the PSA was down to ~1.8 and after 9 months it was down to .447 and .437 with no Lupron! So far so good! The seeds are about done, and it was worth it
