DKS

s (4 years ago it came to, that unwelcome visitor that invaded my body. I had 2 months of radiation therapy with fatigue as my main side effect. I just went off of 3 1/2 years of hormones(Lupron & Casadex). So far so good(ED became a new fact of life but coping with that). Waiting for my next PSA blood test to see if I can stay cancer free. It is a journey we did not ask for and one that takes a survival attitude. We wish you a new strength of mind to fight the good fight. Best to you going forward. A survivor, Ross

Good luck, if you've caught it early, there's a very good chance you'll never get to where I am. I was cancer free for 5 years after my radical prostatectomy and know others who did the same surgery and are clear nearly 20 years later. I just got lucky and got my bones involved. Second opinions from experts are never a bad idea.

Keep it positive and smile

Welcome to this site. I have been fighting aggressive prostate cancer for 11 years. I have made some mistakes and done a few things right in those years. I have posted a detailed writing of my journey for the past 11 years in the hopes that it may help others to see my mistakes and inform them on some of the things that may happen. In any event, I am glad you found this site. Here there are many "firsthand" information people who may be able to answer questions you have. In any event, don't forget the three main things to remember: Always get a second or third hand opinion; don't do anything to your body if it doesn't feel right or if you have that sinking feeling for no apparent reason that this is wrong for you; last, always keep a positive attitude and treat yourself like the temple you are. You are the caretaker of the temple and only you can guide yourself through this maze of decisions one who has cancer is continually faced with. The positive attitude can heal you as much as the treatment and drugs can.
Know that we are here for you and many of us have walked the same scary path as yourself with, in some cases, far less information, and knowledge. Use this site to assist in your education of what has gone on all around the world in the fight to control this disease. The great thing is it is all firsthand knowledge and that you are not alone in this struggle to control your particular cancer.
I hope that you find peace in this battle for it will do you more good than any drugs or treatments. May your God go with you, help you through the hard times, and enjoy the good times.
Welcome aboard. Michael
