Hey G-man, I am late in the game in welcoming you but see that you have had many great responses from guys that are much more experienced than me. Yes, it is a scary diagnosis but you have already...
Sad. His you tube video serves as a good reminder for us all to get tested regularly....
Old thread or not, this is a pretty good question to ask. Not really sure if a prostatectomy would create more body odor but hormone therapy and the reduction in Testosterone would likely affect mens...
Although I am not very vocal on this subject, I am a strong proponent of advocacy. Additionally, I would like to add knowledge to advocacy. Because, without knowledge we are left to those we believe...
Great News! A cancer diagnosis like the one you received can be devastating but with newer treatments we can often live longer and fulfilling lives. Wishing you more great news in the future....
Hey Mr. Bill, I think the side effects you describe are common for many of us taking Zytiga/Abiraterone Acetate and some have reduced their dose because of high liver enzymes. But I have not heard of...
Every day's a gift man, and its even better when you can say "I am in remission". Congrats to you and wishing you many many more years of remission....

From a guy that has a T level of <3, I'd say you're doing pretty well. I think I watch a ROMCOM and cry when the nice guy loses the girl....
I have been with Kaiser in California and Oregon since before my cancer diagnosis. I have found my oncologists to be competent, caring, understanding, and open minded. When I present with a new issue...
Hi David, you have been through a lot and are still going through it. Despite the news, it is good to hear from you once again. Time takes it toll on all of us and some of us feel it more than...

Todd, if you can make it work, you should do it. Better to go onto disability retirement than to lose the job and lose that benefit as well. I did it and don't regret one moment. It does take a while...
I am so sorry to hear that he is not doing well. I always like hearing from him and although I have never met him personally his words are always comforting to others. For many of us this journey...
I started on Zytiga in November 2015 and went generic at the end of 2018. the generic has been just as effective as the brand name at a fraction of the cost. Hope you find that it works for you....
Been growing something since August when my son asked me to have a beard when his new baby was on the way. But between chemo, ADT, abiraterone, my facial hair is spar and can only manage a sparse...
Congrats on your five year milestone! It's a great achievement for guys like us to make it this far....
