My Christmas, My Cancer and My Hope

Tags: Inland Empire , Current Events (All tags)

Officially I was told by my Urologist that I am factually and medically cancer free. I finished my radiation therapy on 10/2. I was scheduled to have lab work done 12/4. I received the results that night. My PSA was basically 0. At the beginning of 2025 my PSA was 12.5 (it had been a 4 two years earlier). From that point on I was given multiple exams blood work, MRI, bone scans and a prostate biopsy (which was incredibly painful) to determine the extent and level of my cancer. Final analysis I had aggressive prostate cancer cells in 80% of my prostate with the “good news” being the cancer is still within the confines of my prostate. My Gleason score was a 7. Recommended treatment radiation treatment hormone therapy treatment.

Early August I received a single 6 month shot of Lupron. Lupron removes the testosterone from my body and suppresses production, prostate cancer feeds on testosterone. My current level of testosterone is 15 you are considered “chemically castrated” and level 20. A normal male’s testosterone level is 221-276. Due to my testosterone being so low my estrogen builds so yes I am menopausal I have night sweats I have hot flashes, my nipples are on fire and stick out ALL THE TIME. I am miserable. I did radiation therapy every weekday for 28 days. My bladder had to be full and my bowel empty (this is to keep the prostate stationary during treatment).

So what is my current state well due to the radiation my bladder, bowel and prostate are damaged.i have no “early warning” system when i got to go well i gotta go. No accidents everything still work well there fine. No longer any semen flow .

So now every four months I have to go in for labs. My Christmas is gonna be great much to be thankful for. My cancer has been beaten back and My Hope is well fully restored.

Thank you to all that supported me. I am forever your friend

Sometimes doctors do over diagnose though.
Just glad you mentally feel better.
Natural healing is best but if your diet and lifestyle is not the greatest, I can see how you got feared into their treatments.

Maybe you can maintain with natural healing. I can do a bio scan at my wellness practice if you need guidance on rehabilitation.

Keep fighting brother, for me April of 2026 will be 3 years after my lung cancer surgery. I start annual screenings then instead of every six months. The only advice I can give is to keep fighting, and listen to your doctors. Every year they develop new treatments and life expectancies increase.

Best wishes

Cancer treatments can be so hard - not me but I've seen it too many times.

Glad to hear someone beat it.

Congrats! Welcome to the cub. I went through the same process myself and have been cancer free for 3 years. I’ve had a whole new outlook on life ever since.
