What's a little comical about this whole thing is that it started when I was admitted to the hospital in renal failure from urinary retention. Now, obviously caused by PCa. It's 21 months later, ADT, ARSI, radiation, chemo, and I still use a catheter to pee. If they just sent me home with a lifetime supply of catheters, I would have been fine... with hair, normal man boobs, and a belly that doesn't look like a Buddha statue.🤣😂

Heh - well, if we go into metaphysical spheres and consider possibility of body-mind interaction perhaps we can see Buddha shape as a result of enlightenment that is forced on every single PC patient - like it or not lol 😉 lol
Everybody facing cancer and becoming acutely aware of their mortality just MUST jump one layer up in understanding the universe and purpose of suffering so there we go, ; ) he he - PC patients are just becoming one with the Buddha 👍, nothing wrong with that ! ; )

As a side note, last year I found some big study (I forgot the name) where they followed patients after RP who did NOT have any further therapy regardless of pathology and they lived in average 13 yeas ! Even the first RO that we talked to knew about that so yes- one sometimes scratches one's head and wonder .... and wonder .... and by wondering is becoming like a Buddha 😋 !!!

I hope that you are doing as OK as possible today 🤞 and that Kat is extra snugly since she can sense colder autumn days coming. : ))
