I did 44 photon radiation treatments. My cancer had jumped to the lymph nodes. I exercise 5 days a week and eat a healthy diet. The Lupron hormone is the worst. I had a Gleason of 7. It was a 4+3. The RP was not able to get all of cancer.

I hear the photon treatments are very precise and effective. They should kill anything in the lymph node. I too am a 3 to 4 day a week gym guy who is a non smoker. My wife is a great cook who rarely makes red meat. I was shocked too about the PCa. My Dad died of heart disease at 58 so I have no clue on his side about PCa. My mother did have breast cancer though. She was clear for 20 years before she passed of MS complications. No more coldcut sandwiches for me at lunch. I used to eat 2 per week on average. It seems there really aren't any specific causations to a PCa diagnosis. Just a lot of possibles which is frustrating. At least we live in a time where there are multiple treatment options to allow for a full lifespan.
