Life After Prostate Cancer Treatment: A Survivor's Update

I completed 30 tracks of radiation plus 4 3 day sessions of chemo 2 years ago. I have permanent esophagitis from the radiation and abdominal scars from my hemicolectomy but other than that I’m doing well & am now 2 years cancer free.

I was in my mid-seventies when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I had 45 sessions of radiation and have been prostate cancer-free for six years. Although I’m now fighting bladder cancer for the last two years, so far, I have been cancer-free but require constant monitoring and treatments.

I am 60 years old and have stage three brain cancer but I am pleased to say that I have tested negative for almost 15 years and feel very blessed and I have been given a second chance with life and have had full support from my family and friends Thank you god

Beverly, try Eohilia works for my esophagitis. Calms the inflammation and able to swallow better. Talk to a gastroenterologist

Great to hear about your positive PSA results and that you're staying so active with swimming, boxing, and tennis! The physical activity shows real strength during recovery. It's completely natural to feel some anxiety while waiting for test results - many survivors share those same feelings about hoping treatment was successful. Wishing you continued strength as you await your upcoming PSA review, and hoping this community continues to be a source of support during your survivorship journey.
