Walsh’s book was my guide back in 2014-2015 when I did my first round with PCa and it is where I turned to first when I was diagnosed with a local recurrence this summer. Helped me to make best decisions and was also comforting as well, knowing that I wasn’t just lost in the wilderness.

A bit of a ray of hope for all of us is that therapies and technologies keep improving. Ten years ago, PSMA PET scans weren't around. Radiation therapy has gotten so good that it seems no to be an equal “gold standard” to RARP. ADT keeps evolving, and new therapies are in the pipeline. Living with PCa, even if some compromises must be made, is more and more becoming the norm.

So glad to hear you have a supportive partner. Makes a huge difference. Just this morning my wife said to me that I’ve been a calmer, kinder person since starting radiation therapy for my recurrence. Well, if this is a side effect, then I’ll take it and try to hold on to it.

Btw, I’m in the Denver metro and receiving treatment here.

All the best to you.
