My God, what a scourge for both of you…but he’s still chugging along so that’s what counts, right?
Compared to today, 2005 was the Dark Ages for PCa…who knew the significance of cribriform/IDC on biopsies? And now we have PSMA, Decipher and other genomic tests to help decide which treatment might be best. Today, your husband’s treatment might have been vastly different - and 20 years from now who knows??
Whack- Mole might become the gold standard for all we know, right?😆

Yes, it has been both an ordeal and a rollercoaster ride--but my husband is still alive 20 years after diagnosis, even though he has been MCRPC for many years, so I am grateful for that. Our experience should also give hope to other men and their caregivers to hang in there and take things as they come, includng the whack-a-mole protocol. 🙂
