I am ok both days.

hello! we are living between France and the US. My husband who is French ,76 yrs old in excellent health and very physically active was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer after a a PSA 9, followed by a biopsy, 3+4 intermediate unfavorable Gleason score . He was treated with 8weeks of radiation in association with ADT. He is approaching his 6th month of ADT and will have to decide whether to do another 6mos. The Dr who is treating him advised 2 yrs although another radiologist initially mentioned 6-8 mos. He was in very good physical condition before treatment . The radiation was tough but he made it through and regained energy quite quickly. There were no major side effects at the time except back pain and little muscular pains and more stiffness which has persisted and seems to correspond to ADT side effects. Although he is very disciplined about daily exercise I worry that too long a course of ADT could affect his body health negatively and reduce his physical strength and ultimately activity. We are in the US and I am trying to find the latest research on ADT duration and efficacity and find a DR who knows the subject who could offer a second opinion before we return to France at the end of Feb to know if the approach/treatment is the same in the United States. We did read the Jama Nov report. Any advice or information would be appreciated.

Hi all the list keeps getting bigger.

Don't forget to add to the list your stage and age. We are trying to see if we have both intermediate and advance members to know how to better tailor the meeting.

Also AnCan would proposed Wednesday or Thursdays, at 9 pm Eastern/ 8pm Central/ 7 pm UK/Western. Let us know what works better, since we would like to schedule the first meeting middle of February.

I would like to appologize for failing to post a link to the AnCan website (ancan.org) where you can find all sorts of resources including some recording from the other webinars and chats.

Here is a link for the Low/intermediate PCa Video Chat so you can get a feeling how the chat will be like:
