John:
Xtandi was one of several options I considered following my recurrence.
My Sept.10,2018 journal entry provides a summary of four other options I considered . My concluding thoughts on one of these, i. e., H D Brachy appear below:
"Of those listed H D Brachy appears most acceptable to me. Is it preferable to plugging away with various forms of ADP? That my friends is the question of the day. It's a crap shoot, always has been, always will be-- this time with far less favorable odds than when I opted for PBRT at the outset. In any event I intend to let the matter percolate for the time being."
I am very much interested in what you decide and how you fare as you proceed. You undoubtedly know how to track my progress.
Best wishes Don O.
Great reading your dialogue here gentlemen and as a fellow "living with" PCa I am always interested in others stories as myself, I have been living with PCa since January of 2011.
Glad to read this back-n-forth. Diagnosed in Oct 2009 at PSA 4.6 Gleason 6 one core 5%, I have been on Active Surveillance since. Slow progression in PSA, few ups and downs (one high of 10.5 in 2013, then quickly back to 5. A year ago 7.6, just today 12.5. Will see what Dr says at appointment in 2 weeks. Hard to believe we lost Terry 6 years ago last week. Best to all.
