StanInVA

Thanks for responding, and hope you are doing well. I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions, since you were diagnosed close to my age?

StanInVA: The diagnonis and following treatments of PC sure can take their toll on you physically and emotionally. My journey started some 3years ago and you can see my story on What Next. Currently I am continuing hormone (Lupron and Casadex) therapy with a dose of Xgeva for bone loss help thrown in. I am active with tennis & workouts and feel good ( although ED is a fact of life for me as of now) y last PSA in Oct. was <.08 ! I recommend a good PC diet, exercise and a good support family to help. Best wishes as you continue forward.
