I would have to rate my quality of life over this last five year journey as not great, but acceptable and as good as could be expected. It was up and down as whatever the current treatment was became effective. Then at a low ebb until the next version of treatment became implemented. At each stage it was important for me to recognize and realize whatever my then current level of quality of life was and to come to acceptance that it's a long, slow downhill run and to be grateful for everything I do/did have as opposed to mourning the loss of what used to be.

I’m doing Lupron plus I had 25 treatments of radiation. I feel like crap most of the time. My next injection is Dec 10 my birthday. Pissing all the time. Can’t get an erection can’t eat anything I would like. If it wasn’t for football I don’t know what I would do.
