Hi everyone again, on the 7th of July it will be 12 years since I had my RP, I am presently 6 months into the second round of ADT, as my PSA rose again to 9.36 last December, my last PSA was 0.48 after 6 months, so it is working ok for me again it seems, so all in all, I count myself very , very lucky to have survived this long, and still living and doing the things I like, I wish all of you the very best, I will be 79 in October.

Regards Mal.

Maldugs , congrats on a great run, may it continue for another 12 years. While long term ADT may not be fun, it works long term on so many. You are an example of the fact that there is life after pc, even recurrent pc. Keep on keepin on

Hi Mal,
that's really great news. I can only hope that I will make it that long. Fortunately my meds are still working. Again, congrats and wishing you many, many more years.

Great news....

The only time "all is lost", IMHO is when they are shoveling dirt on my coffin.

Never give up!!!
