I just got my latest PSA test at CTCA, and it is undetectable once again. On Zytiga 25 months and counting. My gladness is tempered as my good friend, also on Zytiga now has arising PSA of several hundred, so the fight goes on. Same powerful drug affects other individual's cancers differently. Dr. switched him to Xtanti, possibly Taxotere soon.Hoping for breakthroughs in the combination therapies in the very near future.

Hello Wings Of Eagles,

Celebrating your good news --- thankful for the meaningful success you have had on ZYTIGA --- as you know, I'm on the same medication --- each month, we get re-tested and hope the trend can continue --- thankful to hear your good news, and your encouragement to others.

Meanwhile, hoping your friend can catch a break and get a new treatment strategy going --- we also fight for our fellow friends in all of this, hoping and praying for treatment successes for them.

Thanks for being a loyal brother here, Wings Of Eagles --- thankful you are experiencing some "smooth sailing" right now in your treatments, my friend !

Sent with my best,

Dan the Man. 2 years is a good run and it ain't over yet. FYI if you have not yet had your cancer gene tested you should have it done. There is a group called foundation one who is paying for it. Targeted therapy is coming quickly to PCa. The gene mapping will help determine which therapies have a good chance at success in the future
