My condolences. May his memory always be a blessing to you & your family. Jim...
That's a dang good run! Congrats!...
"....but since it is detectable and I’ve had prostatectomy it’s obvious something is going on." Absolutely NOT true Chris. Are you or are you not <0.03 for 15 plus years? Are you or are you NOT still...
Chris, you went to THEE Ohio State University, a center of excellence. They tell it like it is. You are undetectable. Always have been all these years. I hope to reach your record. L'chaim!! And as...
Congrats! You're undetectable-exactly what you want. Take time to celebrate this weekend....
"Testosterone is gasoline for prostate cancer". Thousands of medical students have been taught that so it is easy to understand how it is hard to change that view. After radiation and 2 years of ADT...
Jack, I have no issues and nothing scheduled. Just a general fear of the thing. I don't like MRI's either so I'm all too familiar with valium. Thanks....
Thanks for your great description of the procedure. I have a horrible fear of having it done. Glad to know it went well. Still think I'd ask for fentanyl....
Just catching up here. Great post. 1st & 10, do it again!...
Thank you for your beautiful descriptive post. May your husband's memory be a blessing for all who knew him. Jim...
Yep. Groan....
Thanks Todd. May your treatment holiday be long lasting! Best wishes for a great new year ahead....
You also may want to research TRT(testosterone replacement therapy) & discuss with his Docs. The leading Dr. is interviewed here....
I think there is a correlation to how long you're on ADT to how long until your T recovers. On 2 years= approximately 2 years to recovery. The older you are the more time you can add. I've been off...
You said no sign of cancer the last 5 years. Why would you want to do Pluvicto? It certainly is not indicated in your situation....
Getting Pluvicto up front before chemo is now a thing. So perhaps those guys can get a chemo follow-up after Pluvicto....
Your prognosis? I can't possibly know. 2nd opinion? Ok, you're ugly too. Ba dump bump. I'd say you've surpassed what many would have wished for. Enjoy every day....
Indeed Steve was an inspiration to many. I always appreciated his updates and candor. My symathies to Janice and and the whole family. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Jim...
Someone better than me needs to make a seperate post about Steve's passing. He was an extraordinary pioneer and warrior here. Blessings to his wife Janice and entire family. Jim...
Just imagine that your lab is one that gives out a score of <0.04 as undetectable. You wouldn't have to worry. Best of luck going forward undetectable....
Sorry I just saw this. Thankfully the bar is still open! Cheers & congrats!...
Excellent news & post. I'll raise a glass later & say l'chaim!...
Sorry you are here but it's a great place to be with your diagnosis. If you can, try to create a signature tag like mine below with all your pertinent info. That will help in later posts for people...
There are quite a few places where undetcable means <0.04. So you'd be the same if you were going there. You had your surgery years ago. When/if your PSA rises again there is nothing for your...
I doubt that the prednisone is a problem. Zytiga causes a cortisol depletion and the prednisone is merely to replace that. It's not like you are taking steroids for a condition....
Practice moderation in everything, including moderating things. I have been on Weight Watchers the past year and lost 20 pounds. Just gained back 4 after a week with the grandkids. Ice cream 4...
I don't have any knowledge or advice. Just bumping up for someone who might....
I had breat tenderness and was sent for a mamogram. However my Dad had breast cancer so I was already on high alert. Thankfully I too just have cute boobs....
Best wishes for more success Steve. As always, keep us posted....
Another way to look at your test results: 07/27/22 <0.006 01/12/23 <0.1 01/18/23 <0.1 02/20/23 <0.1 09/18/23 <0.1 03/20/24 <0.1 06/07/24 <0.1 If you put it that way your question seems misplaced. But...
Prato, based on my non medical education I'd bet you are not contagious and haven't been for awhile. Did you happen to ask your Doc? My brother-in-law just went through that & his Doc gave him the ok...
Sorry to hear this. Hope everything heals ok. November 2027 is just around the corner & I want you dancing! Jim...

I saw a headline that said OJ & Ford Broncos recalled on same day.(major Ford recall announced today) Pretty clever....
Thanks Steve for your continuing updates. Wishing well in your next step....

Always amazing (and sad really) to see the old names from posts10+ years old. Sigh........
I'm singing my song.......Un-de-tectable..............
I have a mutation in my Chek2 gene which means I have a greater chance for prostate cancer and colorectal cancer than the average guy....
JPS, not only was I upgraded to G9 I also had metastasis to bones. I responded great to doublet therapy 6 years ago. Now they have triplet therapy which shows even greater results. Feel free to email...

So excellent! DeLIGHTful news on the Festival of Lights....
My pause is about to enter month 18. I hope yours is a long one and that you have a great cake next week....
I have some nice boobs and they began to hurt earlier this year just like you descibed. Since my father had breast cancer my Doc ordered a mamogram. Nothing showed, just man boobs. The "pain" took a...
I am not positive but I believe 0.05 is considered undetectable at some places. Newer radiation techniques make it unlikely to develop new cancers. You may be a long way from having to worry about...
Todd, you are nothin! The original Zero Hero! Happy Tgiving indeed....
Congrats. I'm just getting used to 3 month testing. I usually "cheat" and go after 10 weeks....
Todd, are you really taking original zytiga? Why not the generic abiraterone acetate? And TJ, there wouldn't be a medicare "problem" if every dollar earned had to pay a % into Medicare instead of the...
