Compiler Update

Thank you for your kind responses to my other post.
I am still kicking.
As you may recall, in March 2017 I fell. My neck snapped back. Unbeknownst to me, I had severe spinal stenosis. The result was major spinal damage. I was paralyzed, arms and legs. I regained some function and had to relearn how to walk. The last year, things have deteriorated. I remain in a wheelchair although I can still get up and walk a few blocks. My arms and hands are about 65% useless. The worst symptom is increasingly severe muscle spasms. The strong muscle relaxers don't work as well any more.

When I read the above, it sounds like one big whine. Rest assured, that's not me. But you asked for an update, so there it is.

On the PC front, I am holding my own. My G4+3 remains a pain to deal with (hate every upcoming PSA test). So far, HT on and then off has been working (I will be 75 in about 7 weeks). I was dx. in 2009.

Also, I've done Ga68-PSMA scans twice when my PSA moved up. Each time they found 2 lesions in nearby nodes. Each time SBRT knocked it back. My PSA is due to rise again. I have put off doing my next PSA from late April to May and probably it will be June.

I don't post much as my spinal situation has dwarfed my PC focus. But I do peruse HW.

Thanks Mel. Best wishes.

Thanks Mel, you are a trooper
I don’t have to tell you how I feel about you, I will be forever grateful for what you did to help me when I first showed up at HW.
It’s great to see your posting, and while things are great I’m glad you are able to get up and walk as you said a little bit, that’s improvement from the last time we spoke
Stay strong

Good to hear from you. You're going through a lot there. Two major issues.

Do check in when you're able.

Mel, it's great to hear from you. You have had a tough road these past few years. Keep up the good fight and all the best to you. Hope you'll stick around and post a bit...we miss you!

Jim
