I am 77 years old and my journey thus far is this. In 2017 I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and it was determined after a biopsy, that I was a candidate for radio-active seed implant. I received 31 seeds and all was well for a number of years. In 2021 my psa hit 1.22 and then in 2022 it went back to 0.21. In 2023 the psa went to 2.26 and 6 months later it was 5.41. I did a biopsy and the results came back negative. The Urologist decided to take wait and see period. On 02-27-24 my psa was 172. I then did a whole body bone scan and that also came back negative. On 03-07-2024 my psa was 356 and a PET test was scheduled. On 04-01-2024 the results of that test showed Widespread osteoblastic skeletal metastatic disease. (Not Good) I was then referred to a cancer doctor. On 04-11-2024 I received 2 injections of Lupron. On 04-18-2024 I had a port installed for chemo. On 04-19-2024 psa was 113. I had the first round of chemo (Docetaxel) and started taking Nubeqa. On 05-10-2024 psa was 16.8. Had second shot of Lupron and second round of chemo. Today 05-31-2024 psa is 7 and I will take third round of chemo. Except for hair thinning and a sore mouth for 5 days after chemo, I have no side effects. So all seems to be going in the right direction and like someone said. I WILL DIE WITH THIS NOT OF IT.
Keep your spirits up God is in control

Great to hear that ADT and chemo are getting you to where you want to go, and that the cost isn't too high. Thank you for sharing your story.
