Hello all,
Got my early New Year's present, PSA undetectable again, for 5 years 4 months now. All other blood test levels good, AST, ALT liver function good, Alkaline Phosphatase-74- normal, even my RBC came back up to 4.2, been under 4 for three years. Zytiga(generic) has worked wonders for me, even thought my testosterone is less than 2.5 !!. Kinda sad. But I know I am blessed that it is working for me with almost no other side effects except fatigue. They advised me to try CQ10 again.
Also, as many do I am making a resolution to lose weigh this year, At 200 pounds, I am obese" at least 35 pounds or more overweight for my 5'-8" frame. I am going to sign up for a weight loss challenge at work with a 500 dollar first prize. (good incentive). Going to do it carefully, change my diet and exercise more, and use the pool and steam room at work. Inviting diet suggestions here, but don't go overboard, I think I'll find it very hard to stay on a diet!

Congratulations Wings!

Lots of diet suggestions here. The one that worked for me is pretty straight forward....

“Stop eating what you’ve been eating and start eating what you’ve not been eating.”

Something tells me you’ll figure out what works for you Wings.

Happy as a clam for your results man!! 😊😊😊

Hello, Brother Wings of Eagles!

So thankful for your story of hope and new milestones met!

My journey with Zytiga also continues --- with over 50 empty prescription bottles lined up on a shelf to mark my progress. As with you, I am now on the generic version of Zytiga, and because of my insurance, my copay is now zero, since transferring over to the generic version.

With winter here in the Midwest, your fitness goals will encourage me to keep going on daily walks, even when the weather is cold. On icy or snowy days, then I will walk at an indoor location. Here's to fitness and new health goals in the New Year ! Thanks for encouraging and inspiring me !

Thankful for your posts here!

Friendship, comradeship,

Hey Wings, Congrats on the great report. When Zytiga works, it works wonders. As for the weight loss, I hear you brother. I have a lot more to lose than that. Been cutting down on the fattening foods but the weight just continues to climb. I may join a weight loss program this year, Ugh! Wish it was easy to lose like it was in my early years. Good luck on your new goal and a Happy New Year to you!

Good news for a happy New years there, Dan! Good for you, Bro, keep on keeping on! I am about to get back on the wagon with fasting and or low carb, as the holidays have had a bad influence. I am going to try to be extra good for a week or two. (didn't feel up for a fast, so I had bacon and eggs and nothing else for breakfast/brunch) Then I have one more weight gain trial to get through, me and MLK's birthday on 1/15, when my wife always makes me my favorite cake like my mom made me when I was a kid: Devil's Food cake with brown sugar icing.

May you and I both improve our weight and waist line, which I feel helps with every thing else, including PC!
