Men 45+ should insist on adding a PSA to their next blood test.

Polite conversation never saved a life. A PSA test could.

Don't ask, tell your doctor to include a PSA in your next labs. Not all prostate cancer is "slow growing".

It’s time for me to give an update. I’m finally getting past the side effects from chemo. I have no treatments since the end of March. Hair is starting to come back. Tuesday I went for labs and a PSA pet. In the past ten weeks my PSA went from 11.1 to 39.4. I see my oncologist Wednesday to go over scan and hopefully get a plan together. Not sure if any treatments are currently available. I know some are waiting approval or trials waiting to start. I will let you after I see oncologist Wednesday.

Got out yesterday afternoon!

Good morning everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve posted. Yes I’m back in the hospital, so far since Tuesday. This time there was worry I may have spinal meningitis. I had fevers and a stiff neck. Also showed ecoli and staff in urine. I was hospitalized and put on heavy antibiotics. Yesterday I had a lumbar puncture so they could test my spinal fluid for the meningitis. We’re waiting on those results. None of the staff think I have it since fevers are gone and neck pain is gone. I do have a brain mri yet this morning which I’m sure will be uneventful. Hope to be out soon. Love you guys!

Sorry it’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I’ve been on the mend and doing pretty good now. Saw my oncologist Monday and we decided to continue with chemo but reduce the dose 20%. So next Wednesday I will have treatment #3. I’ve been given some tips on how to get by the taste problem that hopefully work. My PSA dropped from 27 to 5.5 in between my first two treatments. That kind of results I need to take advantage of. I will try to post more often now. Love you guys!
