I can truly understand, about recurrences of prostate cancer cells, in 2013, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, my psa was a 21. So I had a biopsy, and it was prostate cancer. So I chose radiation therapy with seed therapy. For 10 year my psa was down, under a 5, but now it has came back after I had a PET-SCAN, and two spots showed up in my pelvis, in my lymph glands, the spots are a about a half a cm a piece. As a result my psa was a 13. So I opted for hormone therapy, with a shot of Lupron, and the hormone pill Abiraterone at 1000mg a day with 5mg of Prednisone. Within 1 month and a half, my psa has dropped to 0.3. So I'm remaining hopeful that this line of treatment will hold/jeep my psa down, but if I find I have to get more aggressive with radiation/chemotherapy ect... I'm willing. Having prostate cancer is just not a physical battle, it's a mental and aemotional one as well. We as men must continue to fight! Our lives are at stake. I pray anyone reading this will find strength and comfort and courage to continue to press on. This is not a easy battle, but just know your not alone! Exhaust all of your options, and then activate your faith and believe you done all you could do, and after that it not in your hands anymore anyway! Take care my brothers/family. We're in this fight together!!

Your fight with the tumor is a long one, but you are the winner, I admire your courage and faith.I will keep these words and let my brother read them at the proper time in the near future.I believe it will make him rethink how to fight for his own life.
Thank you very much and wish you keep your health well.
