Yes, the diagnosis part threw me- I am 73 and thought I was pretty healthy- cycle swim surf etc..but I thought I had either kidney stones or lingering UTI..urologist finally did PSA test and it was 60- biopsy Gleason 8 ..got going immediately with ADT July 11 and by early October, PSA was < .02 ( with 2.5 weeks radiation).
But the emotional toll on me has been great...I am making peace with it..the hot flashes are a nuisance and some fatigue but overall..I guess I am outwardly ok...I have always been so healthy and strong, this is just very hard to accept.
But I am gonna soldier on and see it thru...my new doc thinks I am doing pretty well...so maybe I will beat it ! But it will exact a price for sure
