My Prostate Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Journey

Hey Rob Our faith is what keeps my head above water. That helps greatly. Sounds like you have the fight in you, that will also get you threw this. Having found someone you trust with treatments is key. You are definitely on the road to success, good luck through your journey and god bless.

Best wishes moving forward Rovert. Stay in the fight 👊🏼

I was diagnosed Nov. 24. They said Gleason 9, 8x2, 7x4. Didn't like attitude nor approach. Also went Dana Farber. Review said All 7s. Started Orgovyx Feb., Zytiga May. First 3 months side effects were brutal, then, Nobody knows why but things improved dramatically. No further muscle atrophy, feeling much better. Follow up mri shows prostate & lymph shrunk 65-70%. Radiation begins mid July. Like you, I'm a Christian, kinda radical though! I absolutely Know Jesus Paid for Our Healing & I'll come through it Healed, totally!

@Rick I would love to talk about this some more with you. I am interested in how your tumors shrank... And are still shrinking 🔥👍 Praise God 🙏🙌

I personally don't believe it was all due to ADT. I've radically changed diet. Exercise regularly & focused on beating this in every way I can. Focused wholly on what Jesus Accomplished with His Wounds (Isa. 53, 1 Pet. 2:24, Matt. 8:17, James 5:14, etc)

I exercise regularly and try to eat right as much as I can. I also take Vitamin D with K2 Pectasol Turkey tail I am interested in seeing my results when I see the oncologist on the 25th. What is your regimen?

May God help you in your journey. Keep up the faith. Wish you well

Consider taxotere chemo on top. Gives a longer and much more durable remission...at least that's the word of Kwon. I did all 3....now PSA 0.014 and 2 clean PSMA scans behind me. Btw...I was a G-9 10 of 12 cores and full blown metastatic.

How long have you been undetectable?

Robert, glad to talk more but don't know how very much through this site?

Robert D, best wishes moving forward. Stay in the fight 👊🏼....too young to throw in the towel. God's grace will provide.

Well gents, got back from the doctor today and my PSA score came down 100 points in 4 weeks! My score currently is 1.3. I know it's not undetectable as of yet but even the Oncologist told me to celebrate 🎉 .... So, I will.. I take my medicine every day and I have listed my cancer supplements earlier. The real reason behind all of this is God!! 👍 I love him so much. I'm happy today. PS my other blood works were all in the clear as well.

Oh, and the highest my PSA score was is 152 on June 2nd.

Thank you for sharing your journey and the strength you're finding along the way. It's encouraging to hear that you sought a second opinion and found a treatment approach that's working well for you with minimal side effects - that's not always the case for everyone, so that's really positive. Your determination and the support system you've built, including your faith, can be powerful tools as you move forward. Wishing you continued strength and hoping others in the community can benefit from hearing about your experience with these treatments.
