I haven't heard of Casodex before. So many different treatments! I do a lot of research and I do plan on living a long, fun life. I'm retiring at the end of June at age 55. That was my plan from 30 years ago. I have lots off things I want to do and I really have a very different perspective about life since I was diagnosed (and also learned that I wouldn't be dead in a few months!). It's like I was given a new focus. Cheers, my PC brothers!
