Update

Morning brothers,
just another little update on how things are going. I feel like I’m going through puberty again. I have been having dreams about sex. I’ve been having spontaneous erections at the worst possible time. You know kind a like when you’re sitting in class and you’re asked to come work out the math problem on the blackboard. My standard answer was no, I will take the zero.
My urine stream seems to be a little weaker but not to the point yet where I am concerned. So far that’s the only two differences that I have a report. I’m waiting for body hair to return. I’m not sure that will happen and in many ways that makes me happy as I look like a gorilla prior to ADT.
Mandy is really enjoying this treatment holiday. I have to say I am as well. I no longer have to fake an orgasm so I can go to sleep. Oh that’s another thing. Orgasms are no longer completely dry.
Well I guess that’s about it I won’t have a PSA test for another three months so I guess we will just wait and see what the numbers have to say. For now, I don’t have prostate cancer

Thanks for the encouraging news, Todd!

Seems like this PCa journey is an ongoing series of climbing peaks (good), then descending into valleys (bad), then getting to climb those peaks again (yay!).

Hopefully this time you're starting a mountain climb!

Keep us updated!
