How long ago was your treatment? Was it just in lymph node? And prostate?

My treatment finished Thanksgiving 2021. I gave thanks!

No lymph node treatment, just prostate and seminal vesicles. As of today there is no detectable testosterone. I've been chemically castrated successfully and my prostate fried in place. Sweet huh?

Plan is to use Lupron for 2 years then assess and see what's going on and available. Lupron started June 2021. Lupron was initially used to curb tumor growth enabling Proton Beam to have maximum benefit. Looks like the plan is working. Hopefully somewhere down the road prostate tissue regeneration will take place and we'll build a new active prostate. Regeneration is currently used elsewhere. I'll also need seminal vesicle repair/replacement. No one has brought that up it's just on my wishlist.
