Hi, I’m Roger. Diagnosed a year ago with PSA of 682 and difficulty urinating. Gleason 4+5. Started monthly Firmagon injections right away, followed by Xtandi pills a month later. My latest PSA is 0.3 and I have side effects of fatigue, hot flashes, loss of muscle mass, and 15 lb. weight gain after one year. Waiting on results of PSMA Pet Scan just done yesterday.
It is difficult sometimes but I’m still here and working hard.

My PSMA Pet scan results are good. A year ago I had 4 lymph nodes and 5 bone locations involved. One year of ADT and now I have 1 node and 3 bones still involved. Oncologist appt in 2 weeks. I am still working and want to avoid surgery, but radiation may be an option.
