Hiya, fellow perberts:
My diagnosis of Stage IV prostate cancer five years ago certainly changed things. A Canadian is a lightly armed North American with better health care. My urologist sent me to a sweet young radiation oncologist, who started a successful regime of antiandrogenic ablation ( chemical castration ) with radiation treatment to follow. I remain grateful to the sex offenders in Australian prisons who shortened their sentences by participating in the drug trials that benefit me.
I quickly developed an allergic reaction to Zoladex, the first drug used, and was put on Lupron. Halleluja! The testosterone levels dropped like a stone, as did the tumor's growth. It had been reaching out to the nearby lymph nodes, but by the start of radiation was no longer trying to expand. 37 radiation sessions, and it was all gone. I still get my PSA tested every 90 days, but I score below 2. There is a price to pay for my present health, however. Instead of a trophy, I got atrophy, but I'm still here!
