GO Todd!!!

Looking forward to our get together in Hotlanta next month. Any more info on the details?

I am sure there are some other Atlanta residents other than myself.   Have any weighed in?

Great Job Todd! This is promising news for others who are maybe thinking or qualifying for provenge....sounds like your'e beating the odds at every level. Good luck to you and keep it going...and I agree with others, this would be a great inspirational story with you beating the odds with those initial numbers.

Heck I didnt know a PSA could get that high.

Hi Ed, yes, the provenge seems to be working. We went on casodex following my last infusion. It brought the PSA down and the provenge is keeping it down. The.best part is zero side effects. I.am blessed in many ways. Todd

Thanks Todd for sharing your update. My guys PSA has gone from 33 to 12.8 with three months of Trelstar and Casodex. He was diagnosed in 2008 with locallly advanced to Mets. We have found a great Oncologist to work with finally. My guy struggles with Pain control and Depression, but the Doctor has been very positive, and saying that his days are numbered at this point. I think it is so important to have a Doctor and center that works with you. We are supposed to be grandparents for the first time this week, so that is giving him a boost as well.

In your post you say:

"but the Doctor has been very positive, and saying that
his days are numbered at this point."

I assume you that mean that his days of depression etc. are numbered? Otherwise, your post is sounding quite a bit more ominous than you may have meant.

News to smile at! Having read your psa numbers when I discovered this forum, I marveled. Now I cheer! My grats to you and I wish you continued progress.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know --there are many people who love you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

Hugs!

Bud
