Neighbor needs good thoughts

Hello Folks, A very good neighbor needs good thoughts and prayers very much now. His name is Roger and is about 63 yrs old and just recently retired. We met while he was walking his dog past my house about two years ago.  I was dx'd in April of last year with High Risk PCa and we were talking about it. I asked if he ever had a PSA test and he didn't know if he had or not. about a month later he told me went for a PSA test which lead to a biopsy. He told me he also has PCa and also is High Risk, G10 (PSA over 100) unlike me with a PSA of 5 or so.  The scans showed mets and given Cassodex and Lurpron with radiation to the “hot spots”. Long story short, nothing worked and now he is in the hospital fighting for his life.  Truthfully, I'm scared to death due to our similar #’s, but he needs the help now.  I know this isn't a religious site, but prayers and good thoughts are really needed for Roger now. So hoping that my friends here on H/W would just stop for a second or so and think of Roger, my good neighbor. Thanks, bertb

We're on it. And although he has top priority right now, I also worry for you.

You're dealing with a friend in pain and the possibility of losing that friend, and also the fear of seeing PCa rear its head in its ugliest version. Remember to take care of you too, and remind yourself of how fantastically your cancer has responded to treatment.

Sorry to report that my neighbor Roger passed away early this morning. He was dx'd only a year or so ago. He was a member here on H/W but only posted a few times.  He was a good neighbor, wish I had more like him.

Bert,

I am saddened to here your news. My prayers go up for Frank, his wife, and for you.
