A guided tour to the real conundrum of treatment choices

I really wish you the best on your journey. I guess I shouldn't say this out loud, but I kinda jumped to the front of the line. My first diagnosis was stage 4 in the bones, psa was 932. My only decision was get treatment or let the cancer run wild. Of course I started the treatment, got the chemo and the rest of the meds. I'm two years into my treatment, deal with the SE like everyone else. I've accepted my diagnosis. Life goes on. I didn't have all the anxiety of having to choose what treatment, my scans went really fast I think. I sometimes think others have it worse then me, trying to decide what treatment to go with, sometimes hearing the cancer is gone, nope, it came back. I certainly don't have any words of wisdom, (I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed) but I do wish for everyone the best on their journey. Best to all.

Wow—PSA 932? That’s not jumping the line, that’s taking a jetpack straight to the front and crash-landing in the oncology department! You really said, “Stage 4? Let’s do this,” and then rolled up your sleeves like it was just Tuesday.
But seriously, your honesty, humility, and quiet strength hit harder than the chemo—and that’s saying something. You’ve got the kind of attitude that makes people pause, laugh a little, and remember that even in the middle of the storm, there’s room for grace (and gallows humor).
Not the sharpest tool in the shed? Maybe. But clearly the toughest damn wrench in the box. Keep doing what you’re doing—you’re inspiring more people than you know, just by showing up, staying real, and dealing with the side effects like a boss. Wishing you continued strength, stable scans, and zero surprises.
