'Twas 6 years ago today that I had the diseased organ plucked from my belly. It's been six years of ups and downs, but God has been good to me lately and I think I'm going to enjoy another decade or two. Thanks to y'all who have been there for me in the valleys. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, or ... Big Bang!

Nevertheless, congratulations on 6 years. I'm at year 3, but things are progressing too fast for my comfort. Currently sitting at 0.9 PSA which is a rise from 0.3 from 2 months ago following taxotere. I have also developed some pain in my hip area - going through a series of tests now.

I thought the taxture would help; for a little while at least. I'm sure you know that we all think we have mets whenever we get pains in our hips (or ribs, backs, shoulders, knees and feet). Sometimes, it's just a function of being 57 years old. However, I guess a met would explain the rising PSA. But, still, it doesn't make sense to me that taxotere would have no effect at all.

I probably didn't word my post too well. The taxotere took my PSA down to 0.2 at which time I stopped treatments. The following PSA results were, then, 0.3 and 0.9 - each 2 months apart. So, I am a responder to taxotere, but hormone refractory. I can relate to your comments on "pain" - I'm almost hoping it's the regular aches and stuff for a (I'm 60 now) year old. I've also been on zoladex for 3 years which takes its toll on the body. Thanks for your reply! Rich > I'm sorry to hear that Richard; on both counts.

Hello Steve Kramer, Good Holidays for you and your family and friends! You are an indeed informed survivor. More decades to come, congradulations on your hard fought battles.

John Loomis RP 1999 49 years old..... Good Wishes to all, and end all wars........ Too many other things to fight for. Health being just one.

As you can imagine, I wait with anticipation. You're one of the few that I know that went off Casodex and had a PSA reduction.
