Thank you for this great response and for mentioning the meetings you attend. Elsewhere on this forum and generally in life I’ve been asked many times if I’ve had counseling I have and I can’t stand it. I’d like it a lot if I could find a man who has been through what we’re going through and happens to be a counselor. Also, I’m really running into severe ghosting by Friends because I have other issues besides my cancer so anyway, I find groups of men who have prostate cancer to be the best place to talk
yesterday I met a guy my onco‘s office who was in really bad shape, but he had a great attitude. As for the first time this happened in November 2024 I was not panicked and I don’t remember why but six weeks ago I had a retinal detachment which has thrown me into a mental spiral. It’s a harrowing injury. I’m coming out of it now and feeling better but Still, it threw me into a very dark place - pun definitely intended.

Better prognosis if the macula is not detached, several different procedures can be done if it’s caught early- per my son, an optometrist.

You should come to the Ancan.org speaking freely meeting. It’s for people to come and discuss other issues besides the actual treatment of their cancer. Usually at least 15 guys show up and we discuss all different types of things. People come in and talk about what really worries them, What kind of issues come up because they have cancer, and sometimes that’s not even involved.
If you go to the Ancan.org Website you Can sign up for the meeting and they’ll send you An email with news, If you sign up for the advanced prostate cancer meetings, you get a weekly newsletter that is really useful. This week it had a lot of information about articles discussing what happens if your PSA starts rising early in treatment, there was another article about actinium vs Pluvicto which went into great detail about how each worked on the body.
The next speaking freely meeting is held on July 3 at 5 PM Pacific time. It will be on again, two weeks later.. The next Advance prostate cancer meeting is tonight at 3 PM Pacific time.
