Well, just had my 12 mth review from the last shot of Lucrin.

PSA still holding @ <0.01 = undetectable
T gradually building = 6.5 from 2.1 ISO in past 3 mths
(US conversion for T = ISO x 28.8)

Seeing this is a PCa group, that's OT, but my SEs from ADT & RAD
treatment modes, plus a subsequent TURP have severely depleted my QOL
(if anyone here is interested.)

If no one cared, this group would not exist.
If "O" = "On", your post is definitely OT.
Every one of us had BETTER be interested, because EVERY ONE of us will
be facing deteriorating QOL. PC just brings that point home sooner and
more urgently.

You got me, IP - the "OT" above should've been " ON Topic".

The PSA is excellent CC.  It appears that the treatment worked and
the prostate cancer is not going to kill you.

I'm encouraged by your results since I had virtually the same
treatment as you did.

As for quality of life, I don't like the way the years and the
mileage have eroded my carcass but, with a little help from
my friends, and with a good book, a funny movie, and some
stirring music now and then, I continue to enjoy life.

Best of luck.

Well, you haven't beaten the bastard, but you certainly beat it back into
its cave for awhile.  I'm sorry to hear you were so wounded in the battle
that your QOL is severely affected.  I pray that gets better with time.
