Hi Guys. I've been off this forum for a while. I'm still riding the Xtandi horse, with pretty good results. My main side effect is fatigue and low energy/peak strength. Highlights are in my Profile Signature, below.

Let's hope that those relatively low PSA levels will continue for a long, long time.

Thanks, Sr Sailor. I'm pushing 5 1/2 years of survival since starting out in a pretty serious place. I'm Lucky and Grateful. Life is good.

Charles,
With that monolithic initial PSA I would concur that life is good. I’m thinking you’ll have quite some time to enjoy it with your great treatment response.

Curious, thanks for the update! It sounds like things are going pretty well for you. Stay in touch!

Hello Curious Charles,

You continue to be an inspiration to all of us here --- that treatments can have a tremendous, lasting impact --- and that your belief in living life to the fullest can work WONDERS!

Thanks for inspiring us all !

With my best,

Howdy, Cyclone. Thanks! You are still getting a pretty good response to your treatments, too.
I admire how you are such an optimistic bundle of enthusiasm. (Of course, you have about 17 years on me, and I've been on Xtandi, too. Ha. Ha.)

Charles

Don't take this personally, but did you hear this one?

"An Iowa State player was almost killed last week in a tragic horseback-riding accident.
He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death.
Thank God the manager of the Wal-Mart came out and unplugged it." Just kidding! Go Cyclones!

Charles,
From one miracle man to another...Great report, I have been wondering about you! Keep up..or keep down that low PSA. I "feel" your great attitude also!! That was a good chuckle, about the ISU player, I'm sure Darrin ISU-Cyclone is chuckling also, we need more of that around here.!!! Keep the faith
