Living with Prostate Cancer: My Journey in Remission

Hey James Wishing you well on your journey, knowing that every new day is a blessed day for you. Stay encouraged.

Hi James, I have Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. I am also in remission. I had a prostatectomy, radiation, and am now on hormone therapy (Leuprolide Acetate). I have a lot of the hormone side effects so I empathize with you. My prayers are with you.

Thank you for sharing your journey and bringing hope to others in this community. Staying in remission for a couple of years is truly something to celebrate, even while managing the challenging side effects and additional treatments. Your openness about both the victories and the difficult parts of living with cancer can help other community members feel less alone in their own experiences. How has the hyperbaric chamber treatment been going for you so far?

James- T3b, N1, MO at diagnosis in 2018. 6 years and 9 months on my PSA is <.1 after 3 years Lupron, 2 years Zytiga and 45 days of radiation. Had all the usual side effects including two procedures for urethral strictures. No cancer would have been better, but grateful for the treatment and benefits. I’m feeling well. Labs in two weeks. Hoping, but always grateful for the days.
