I'm in my mid-70s now, and life's been a rollercoaster lately. Since September 2022, I've been on this medication cocktail of Zoladex (Goserelin) and Abiraterone, but I can't quite figure out which one's causing all the trouble, or maybe it's both of them ganging up on me. Around 6-8 months into the treatment, things started getting funky. I've been shedding body hair like a golden retriever in summer, and I've even started growing a pair—albeit a modest one, around A cup-size, if I were to guess.

Fatigue hit me like a ton of bricks, and it feels like my muscles are playing hide and seek, with about 20-30% of them seemingly gone missing, while my tummy's decided to throw a party and gain about 4 inches uninvited. As if that wasn't enough, bone and joint pains have become my new companions, and to top it off, I'm one of the lucky few dealing with the long-term consequences of the radiation I had to endure a year back—hello proctitis!

But you know what? Despite all of this, I'm still here, kicking and savoring every moment life throws my way. Because hey, being alive is a gift, and I'm not letting a few bumps in the road steal my joy. Keep smiling!
