I am happy that your treatment is working!

The one a day Abiraterone with low fat breakfast is interesting! We will look into this..

I am also surprised they are waiting so long for the radiation - we were told it takes time for the hormone therapy to "desensitize" the cancer cells, and get them ready for radiation. I will ask this question on Tuesday. Did they radiate your lymph nodes?

Yes they radiated the lymph nodes too as well as the involved seminal vesicles. Their was a time gap between RT and ADT. I d have to research the archives. Forgot how long between therapy’s. One more thing….after the radiation a couple months later I felt something fall off the wall down there. Sounds stupid, but it had to have been the cancer growth becoming necrotic= absorbed by phagocytosis: the body taking care of dead cells from cancer. All this info is just my opinion. It’s not the documented analogy you find in doctors notes.
