This is pretty serious stuff and yet for some reason, I can't stop laughing after reading this post. It's easier to just blame it on the meds, at times I just start laughing for no seemingly reason. My wife gave up asking why I'm laughing as I have no idea. Some say they just started living life to the fullest after getting their diagnosis, I'm not sure what that means, I just try to get through the day as best I can. I have the side effects from the meds every day but if my head stays in the game, it's a good day. Sometimes I put my foot in that hole and remind myself that tomorrow will be better. Some don't like the phrase, "It's not curable but we can control it", well that is all I have to go on. Some how that is easier for me to accept what I have. Others post how they have been able to deal with this for a long time, I take a lot of encouragement from that, I must be good to go. Have a good day and Best to all.

Steve, great attitude, brother! I am glad you can still have silver lining moments!
I have glaucoma - incurable but treatable; I have high blood pressure -incurable but treatable. Ditto for atherosclerosis.
Many of us have diabetes, autoimmune diseases, myasthenia gravis, bleeding disorders - all incurable but treatable. The list is simply too damned long!
In my @heavyphil moments I want to kick and scream and raise my fist (and middle finger) to the sky. But when I’m in my @stevecando54 moments, I don’t obsess, I don’t bemoan my fate and I lump this PCa crap in with all the rest - treatable but not curable…big effing deal! Thanks for the boost.
