Great new Jeff!
Fantastic news and at last you are on your travels! Woohoo.Alpena Jeff said:OP here.
Last treatment was Jan 21. It was really nothing more than an inconvenience. Nothing fell off, everything still works. God is good! We will monitor closely.
Thank you all for caring!
Jeff and Judy
Good to hear that you must have been relieved.packnrat said:had mine hacked out over a decade back. got the big C at age 47. been a 0.000. ever since.
I'm sorry to hear that muddypaws, hopefully this treatment will be successful....8Muddypaws said:Wish I had better news.
Mine was zero for about 18 months. It went up to .5. (A huge change in a very short time). They did a bunch of CAT scans, PET scans, MRIs and couldn?t find anything. As a last resort they did a fluorine enhanced scan ($$$) and finally found it. I?ve been on Luprone since the day after Christmas and will be starting what they call ?Salvage radiation? early next month. 5 days a week for 7 weeks.
Alpena Jeff said:Won't ever happen to me. I'm bullet proof.
Well, guess what?
Biopsy confirmed. Gleason scores in tumor area 7's and 8's. CT scan shows no advancement. Ditto for bone scan. Not conclusive but good for now.
We have chosen radiation with hormone therapy. My body is strong, my attitude is stronger.
God, Judy and I got this!
Carry on.

Did they throw in hormone therapy as well?8Muddypaws said:I got my Tattoos this afternoon and will be starting 7-8 weeks of radiation treatments March 18th. My oncologist says there is a 90% chance of complete remission.

8Muddypaws said:Yes they did. I got a Lupron shot the day after Christmas and took Casodex for a month. Haven?t been able to pass up a shoe store since!
Shoe store...that's funny. I also now understand the whole hot flash thing. I sympathize with the fairer sex now!8Muddypaws said:Yes they did. I got a Lupron shot the day after Christmas and took Casodex for a month. Haven?t been able to pass up a shoe store since!
