For Prostate Cancer: Diagnosed October 2016 stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer 2-8s 1-9 gleason....perineal invasion.....ductal variant hystoligy. It is rare, very aggressive with bone mets pelvis , rib and possible knee just waiting results from MRI. I'm having 3rd shot (22.5mg) of this nasty stuff. I work in construction so muscles important and this gives a noticeable reduction, with hot sweats - when its 98 percent humidity I pour sweat and have muscle aches. My memory is stuffed up .....and everyone is right drs just don't even want to hear about your side effects. And sex for get about it. But my PSA is .07. I want to take a break but doc says with my aggressive type ....no way. I'm just buying time, we all have a expiration date.........enjoy life........boywonder |
