Hello RickTheRock,
Welcome to the "forum family" here --- a great place to seek advice, compare treatment experiences, ask questions, and learn from other members.
We've got some common threads in our treatment history --- from your signature, I can see that we were both diagnosed in 2013 --- I've also been on the ADT hormone shots, including LUPRON, just as you have been --- I've also pursued a round of TAXOTERE chemotherapy treatments --- and I've also had the CHOLINE-PET scan.
My signature below shows my full sequence of treatments over time ...
I just wanted to send a few lines of encouragement to you ... you've got some great background, in terms of treatment experiences ... so, we want to welcome you and encourage you to keep posting, along the way.
There are past thread topics located in the "archives" of this forum ... so, along the bottom, you can "click back" through past topics that might be of interest to you ...
At the top right hand corner of your screen, you will also see a SEARCH box and that can be used if you are searching for more information on past topic items ... topics such as "TAXOTERE" for example ...
Keep in touch with us here ... let us know how you are faring ... let us know which treatments you are pursuing ...
Your current treatments with JEVTANA and CARBOPLATIN have certainly been successful in "knocking down" your P.S.A. recently ! There's cause for a celebration !
We've got caring members here from "every corner of the country" ... and loyal members from foreign countries across the globe, as well ... so this is a tremendous NETWORK OF SUPPORT ... 'round the clock, 365 days a year ... we're here for you.
Sent with my best, from here in the Midwest,
