Ive been on Hormonal Arbityherone pills for about 4 months and the 3 monthly hormone injection. PSA down to 0.008 and testosterone 25. The latest PET PSMA scan shows great improvement- lymph nodes hardly show up - so the hormonal treatments have stopped the fuel increasing spread of affected lymph nodes
Sweats, hot flashes and increase in weight - about 5% in a few months. Seems to have leveled off now- I walk about 2 miles most days. I eat well- nuts, avocadoes, fruit, little meat - red perhaps once a week. Also B12 and Viatmin D and vitamins to prevent osteoporosis-
I work about 8 hours a day at home- at the screen- with a 1 hour lunch break and 30 minutes snooze. Dont suffer from exhaustion- only occasionally energy drops.
I have my blood checked every few weeks for glucose, cholesterol, liver function and other markers suggested by the Oncologist
I consider myself fortunate- functioning well
76 years old- 5 years on after radical prostatectomy, and 2 short radiotherapy sessions. Bottom line- looks like the hormone therapy with all the down sides, is the most effective way to stop rapid spread of the cancer cells
Keep busy and positive
