Hi MJCB,

I’m sending a special…warm welcome to you and I’m glad you joined us.  If I read this right you are 87.  When did your PSA start going up??  Have you had further testing to determine if cancer has spread to the bones, lymph nodes, or other areas?  When is your appointment with your specialist?  What is your support at home? Which state do you live in?

I think the most important thing you’ve stated is.. “You are feeling pretty good with no pain”. It’s time to make more decisions on keeping you in this place.  Feeling good with no pain. 

Finding out exactly what your options are ~ is so important ...no matter what age you are!!!  Quality of life whether it is 5 months or 5 years has always been our goal and will always remain at the top.

MJCB… You specifically asked for feedback from those who have traveled this path using chemo as a treatment and those who are in the later stages.  The websites that you have been given in previous posts will definitely give you guidance. 

We hope to hear from you soon ~ as to the questions above ~ they help us to understand which stepping-stone you are on in your journey.  You have obviously had a long journey and I’m thankful you have chosen to share it with us.  Sharing your journey will be a gift to all of us…. and I would like to repay this gift with a HUG. 

I truly hope you will stay with us.  This journey is best traveled with friends….

We give thanks each day when we see a new sunrise…  knowing that we are never promised tomorrow!  Our thoughts and prayers will be with you each and every day as you search out the right treatment for you. 

In New Friendship…

Lee & Buddy
