New guy Gl7

I'm a newbie but don't really feel like it because I have been here lurking for months. All of you have already helped me beyond measure. Thank you so much. I have tried to create a signature block with some of the details of my Dx but in case it didn't "stick" the summary is GL7 with possible EPE.

I am on elligard (and yes I hate it like most). I have just completed 43 sessions of EBRT. The recomendation is for 2 years total on ADT.

I am sure that I have little to offer others right now aside from admiration for your courage and knowledge so for now please accept my thanks for being here. So many of you have helped me sort this out and you don't even know me- but i feel like I know many of you.

Hi Bluesharp. A belated "Welcome" to the forum since you have been here lurking.

Happy to hear your EBRT is behind you, and wishing you a mild SE trip on ADT.

Welcome to HW Bluesharp. Looks like you are well into your treatment phase. I wish you much success on your journey. Please keep us posted. Take care. -JR
