How are you today?

I learned just last Friday, Feb 14, that I have prostate cancer (Gleason score 8, PSA 10) and I am waiting for a CT scan and a bone scan if the cancer has spread.

I am 68 and and wishes several more years to live and see my grand kids grow.

Reading your story of 12 years plus, living a pretty normal life gives me hope.

Thank you.

Keep the faith. I have been living with an aggressive prostate cancer, stage 3 since biopsies in December 2013. Prostate removed Feb 2014, Cancer was back the summer of 2014. Fall of 2014 started ADT prior to 8 weeks, five days a week of radiation. Feb 2015 PSA every 3 months, watching the return. PSMA PET scan lit up in prostate bed and maybe in a couple lymph nodes. Started on Orgovyx in May 2022 and have been taken daily since then. Leading a good life, minimal side effects, PSA checked every three months. Multiple heart issues seems to be resolved. Enjoying every day, grandchildren. Participated in Reel Recovery program, great experience. Cannot rid myself of the cancer yet, but have it in control. Grateful to be active and see each new day. Has not been easy, but have a positive attitude all the way. 75 birthday coming in July.
