say they are optimistic. Not really much you can do anyway.
Thanks for asking.

he went thru radiation, like you have, and he is now cancer-free and feeling pretty good. You are going to be just fine. Have a relaxing weekend.

If anyone is facing this at least I can explain my decision.

9 week course of radiation about 5 years ago, and it's now down to 0.1.

I know what you mean about the radiation therapy, it kicked me pretty hard too.

Just a year ago, I talked to my cousin, the daughter of my moms' brother who had died from PC, and things were pretty gruesome for him. Didn't get discovered until way too late.

I'm a staunch advocate of making sure any male friends start getting their PSA numbers as soon as possible.

My oncologist told me he's had guys come in with a PSA in the hundreds. At that point, about all you can do is get your affairs in order.

Professors at Yale Medical School. Presumably they know something.
It does make you concentrate on life. Trying to enjoy every day. It's so much fun! I'll miss it when I'm gone.

My PSA started creeping up a few years ago, and in early 2020 my doc sent me for a closer look. A biopsy was done, a particularly pleasant experience , and a small bit of cancer was found. I went through a month and a half of radiation in late 2020 and just last week was given a clean bill of health; my last PSA was 0.8. The treatments wore me out pretty good, but the worst part was when they piped country music into the treatment room. I'm also glad to be in Canada; the only thing we had to pay for was parking and sometimes lunch.

It's been a month and a half and most physical efforts still wear me out pretty quickly. They said it would be three months, so let's hope. The plumbing is getting back to normal!

Thanks for giving me a chance to share my tale.
