If you don't mind my asking' what was your' PSA at time of diagnosis? Best wishes for continued future success.
Good on you, good sir! You've been in this game longer than most of us and, like my father, your optimistic spirit and sense of humor is a big part of the success you've had thus far.
Your treatment protocol is identical to mine, surgery, chemo, radiation, ADT with Lupron and Zytiga for about the last year and a half. So far so good. I've had several negative PET scans and my PSA has been undetectable for the last year or so. Fatigue is the most significant side effect I've had along with the obvious ones like, zero libido, and hot flashes. I was diagnosed in August of '21 and I'm 59.
Where are you being treated? I'm going to Phelps Hospital in Tarrytown NY. I got a second opinion at Memorial Sloan Kettering in White Plains NY and that doctor agreed with the treatment my doctor is giving me. He was also cool and said I could book appointments with him anytime if I had questions even though he's not the one who's actively treating me.
