Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / June 2004Stick a Fork in Me - I'm Done
Last (42nd) IMRT today. Glad it's over. Hopefully some of the side effects will now start to ease up. Thank God for Olfart's butt salve which is working great. Also got new meds from Uro which should help the peeing every hour at night problem. Won't be able to look for low PSA readings which are meaningful since I will be on Lupron for about 2 more years. Drs will monitor PCa with CT scans, etc. Age - 69 8/12/02 - PSA 3.7 10/13/03 - PSA 4.69 11/11/03 - PSA 4.8 11/18/03 - Biopsy - 10 cores one core-25% of core-Gleason 4+4=8 all other cores benign tissue 12/10/03 - Consult - Oncologist 12/16/03 - Consult - Radiation Oncologist Treatment Plan - Northeast Ga Cancer Center HT - started 12/17/03 - Eulixen & Lupron (2nd 4 mo Lupron-4/26) 2/10/04 - Started - Flowmax and Megastrol Radiation - IMRT to begin 3/30/04 - 42 treatments - Completed 6/8/04 Well Done ! > Last (42nd) IMRT today. > Glad it's over.

I'm a little surprised about your being on Lupron for 2 years. Seems like a long time. But then what is 2 years compared to a healthy cancer-free life? Bev > Last (42nd) IMRT today. > Glad it's over.

CONGRATULATIONS! FORTY TWO! That's a lot of rad but glad for you that it's all over. The down side for me was I miss a couple of people (fellow patients) I used to see every day prior to treatment. Really enjoyed their company. I used to show up a little early just to have time to visit with them prior to getting jolted. <sigh> Wonder how they're doing. <double sigh> Larry Glad to hear you're over the rad. But, you scared the sh.t out of me with that subject. Next time, try something like "radiation completed" or "whew, I'm glad that's all over".

Congratulations! I am looking forward to next Thursday which will be my final microwaving. I showed my onco-rad the NG and he smiled at your response to my thread regarding butt paste and salve. Now it's on to my uro in a month to see what he thinks about more Lupron. Good luck and Congratulations again. Chuck McClellan So glad to hear it's over!! I hope things start to look up, up, up from this point on! MikeH > Last (42nd) IMRT today. > Glad it's over.

It sure becomes a big part of your day to go in for two months, isn't it. I must admit though, I missed seeing my wonderful "team" afterwards. But I did tell them "I hope I never see you again - as patent." <G> Let the party begin!! Dwight > Last (42nd) IMRT today. > Glad it's over.
