12 Years

Wednesday was my 12 year anniversary since dx. Not a lot has changed. There are subtle differences. I seem to be developing a slight libido. Nothing to write home about but noticeable. Any libido is welcome after 12 years of hormones. Another noticeable differences is that In 12 Years I have not needed deodorant nor antiperspirant. I simply have not had body odor. A few times last month I pitted out. It felt weird.
I fell down and whacked my tailbone on a rock while fishing a couple weeks ago. It is still rather tender to the touch but is getting better. I have lost 6 pounds in the last 3 months. I now weigh 147. I feel leaner and stronger. I have a 4 month appointment sometime in July. I will update more then

3 more posts to go. Wow good observation. Now only 2 lol

Todd, congratulations, you are THE MAN!

Oh, and good on the libido news, maybe it’s the start of something big

So happy to hear your good news, Todd! Hope that tailbone heals fast!

Prat.... something big. Roflol. Not likely.
There are really a lot of subtle changes taking place though. Morning glory, libido, perspiration, weight loss, muscle tone. I am less fatigued. I feel better than I have in a long time and yet there are bouts of occasional nausea. I have been supplementing protein, calcium + D3 and potassium. My last potassium level was borderline low. Nothing unusual there. It has been low for a long time. I think it is due to the Zytiga/ prednisone. Sometimes I feel terrific and sometimes I feel like crap. Yesterday we drove to the Columbia river gorge and did a 20 mile bike ride. Today my back hurts like hell. I have been on Zytiga for almost 5 Years. I keep wondering if it will ever fail. I hope not. I have been on Lupron for 12 years. I should not have a libido or function but here I am and have both. Maybe I need a T-level check but Austin cannot imagine why I would have any testosterone. It’s all just weird. I keep living as though I no longer have PCa. People say that is impossible but I have been undetectable for almost 5 Years.

On 6/6/06, the devil was in the details, but you have come out on top! 12 years, amazing, living each day to the fullest, giving so much inspiration to so many. Love you man, you are definitely not a pain in the arse, even though you unfortunately have one now! Those darn slippery rocks by the fishing hole..curse them!! Get better,so it wont effect your fishing..or your catwalk modeling!
