Interesting question you pose. The fatigue is one of the things that led me to the doctor. I was a runner and it got to the point to where I was struggling to complete three miles. Finally after a...
I don't even drink beer however I think i will celebrate with the great news of another zero. congrats peace to you Dale...
I think I will go celebrate this great news peace to you Dale...
Thanks for writing. I think I have similar stats to yours. I was diagnosed at 45 with gleason 9 and PSA of 16.3. I had radiation and two years of ADT3 and July will be five years. There are tons of...
if you have a number that starts with two zero's go home a celebrate. The margin of fluctuation at that precise testing can vary. thanks for sharing the great news. peace to you Dale...
yes indeed thanks for dropping in. Glad we could help without even knowing it. I to had radiation as a first line defense after a failed surgery. I went on to 2 years of ADT3. Glad you are having...
Yes time does fly. This coming July will be five years for me and it seems like yesterday when I was diagnosed. Congrats on the wonderful news and most of all thanks for being a friend to us all here...
I would be careful to not over react here. Certainly this is worth a recheck however I would be say it is not metastasis. I have been dealing with this for five years and my PSA has gone from .03 to...
I am not in the zero club anymore but I always rejoice when someone gets to join it. Congrats now go out and celebrate. peace to you Dale...
what a wonderful surprise you are having. I love success stories. I bet you will surprise your wife and who knows you find a whole new level of intimacy. peace to you Dale...
wow I am sorry to hear this news. May I ask how long you have had PCa? I do agree with the exercise part. I was on ADT3 for two years and the only thing that helped me keep my sanity was exercise....
great news thanks for sharing. It is not uncommon for radiation therapy to work for months after the initial treatment has stopped. I bet you have many years of great test peace to you Dale...
Thanks for the post. While I was on ADT3 my PSA went down to .05 or something like that. I enjoyed the zero club. A few months after I stopped therapy my PSA shot up to .71 and then over the next...
good morning Mark. I do not know much about your situation but I can tell you that I experienced some pretty weird sensations in my legs while exercising through ADT3. There were times I thought my...
good morning and thanks so much for writing to us. I too am a gleason nine and nearly five years later I am doing great. I had two years of a hormone therapy called ADT3 and it seemed to have worked...
I had the open and was very pleased with it. Under different circumstances another doctor may have gone ahead and removed my prostate. The doctor that did my surgery opted to abort the surgery once...
Thanks for the update Tony I sure missed that post. Walt was a great man and I was lucky to share some wonderful phone conversations with him. Was not ever able to meet him but I know he was awesome....
Has anyone heard from War Eagle? It has been well over a year since I spoke to Walt and his wife. If anyone has spoken to him lately please bring us up to date. peace to all Dale...
Jim thanks for the post. I never really struggled with the diagnosis of cancer but I sure as heck did with the treatment. When I went on ADT3 for two years I thought it was going to wipe me out. My...
.02 WOW time to celebrate. My friend you are officially a zero. At those decimal points it could fluctuate between .01 to .05 and still be ok. Great test results. peace to you Dale...
It took me six to nine months before I started feeling somewhat normal again. Be patient things will happen. peace to you Dale...
I was speaking to someone last week about this i told them I hated what cancer has done to be but I love what it has done for me. I simply meant that I love the people I have met on this journey....
This is an excellent post and thank you Amy for sharing your experience. Cancer does have emotional side effects that most do not understand. I have been fortunate to this point not to need anti...
wow this is the day for zeros. What an awesome way to start the New Year. I actually have my three month PSA done Wednesday. I will not be in the zero club however I will be close (I hope) peace to...

sounds like a happy new year to me. Congrats and I pray for many more zeros peace to you Dale...
Good morning Todd, I wish I had medical advice but I simply do not. I took an interesting route that many have considered me rather strange. I engrossed myself heavily into a better diet and extreme...
I think I will go out and celebrate your good news to. Way to go peace to you Dale...
This is crazy David and you are right it sure makes you rethink traditional wisdom on PCA. You being a Gleason 7 would not expect such things to happen like this however we seem to be seeing more...

I am still at three months and will probably stay that way for at least another year. I do however look forward to the every six months. I agree with purgatory I have no desire to subject myself to...
I feel like one of the lucky ones. When I go to the doctor I literally sit in the lobby for 45 minutes waiting for my PSA results. I think it is terrible that people have to wait for days for this...
awesome news and welcome to the world famous zero club. We will be sending out the dues package soon so please remit your payment quick. Just kidding, go out and celebrate this news and know that we...
this is very interesting. Are we talking about radiation other than IMRT? I had 42 rounds of IMRT and I was never ask to drink water prior to treatment. WOW I feel lucky. peace to all Dale...
I have not read the responses so I might be repeating what others have said. I am not a fan of hyper sensitive and here is why. I have seen to many men get worked up when their PSA goes from .01 to...
I went through two years of Lupron Casodex and Avodart and my worst side effect was the extreme fatigue. I am sure that is a result of the low testosterone. The loss of libido was bad but nothing...
sounds like a reason to celebrate to me. CONGRATS peace to you Dale...
Hey Bob can I run for president of a couple of those clubs. I was the self appointed President of the zero club but the pay was just not enough. Oh I was not a zero either. Love your creativity....
