By Way of an Introduction

Welcome to HW Ron and most of us would rather be someplace else. But it is a great group of people with lot's of experience. Would love to see a shot of the Boreal if you have one. That is on my bucket list.

Nice photographs! 👍
Welcome to the forum. G9 here. I was on Zytiga for 20 months and switched over to Xtandi. Doing Xgeva every 4 weeks.

Wow Ron - what GLORIOUS photos! Gee you sure do live in a beautiful part of the world. Very sorry to hear about the rough diagnosis, but rest assured you've landed in the right place. The guys (and gals) here know a thing or three about this disease and are so very kind and helpful. I know you will find the advice and support you need here.
All the very best of luck.

Thanks Faustman, there seems to be considerable variation in the duration of Zytiga's effectiveness.

Thanks Sue, I live about 20km North of Thunder Bay Ontario.

Thanks Jaycee and Cal, it is pretty country but can be harsh in the winter

Welcome to the forum, and, amazing photographs.

Nice Pic's and lots of NHL talent (Staal Bro's) come from Thunder Bay area.... Welcome!!!

Hello Boreal Photography,

Impressive photos from your "neck of the woods" !

You've reached a great place here --- we've got loyal members hailing from all over the globe --- sharing advice, lending support, contributing first-hand treatment experiences ...

I, just like you, am also on ZYTIGA --- one of the newer breakthrough medications that has emerged in recent years.

I thought it might be helpful and inspirational to let you know that several of us here are on ZYTIGA ...

I'm a school teacher and have pursued continuous ADT hormone shots since diagnosis, along with a series of chemotherapy treatments, and I've now been on ZYTIGA for 20 months.

I started saving the empty monthly bottles --- so have a few other fellows here --- so there are now 20 ZYTIGA bottles, all lined up, on the shelf of my cupboard --- ZYTIGA has helped me a great deal and brought my PSA down to an all-time low, once I started.

As a school teacher, it has carried me through two school years in a row --- still taking ZYTIGA currently, as a matter of fact.

I thought my first-hand experience with ZYTIGA might inspire you ...
