Zytiga appears to have bought me some more time, PSA after about 8 weeks on the drug is 0.8, down from 9.47.

My passions these days are wildlife and landscape photography as well as tooling around in my 4X4. Right now, other than fatigue, I'm pretty much symptom free. So, I've decided to take a solo trip to one of my favourite places in the world, the desert country of the American Southwest, specifically southern Utah, while I'm still physically able. I'll be spending my evenings, nights, and mornings shooting landscapes and night skies, and my days beating the crap outa my truck and body on the many off road trails down there. One last kick of the can as it were.

If anybody's interested I'll try and post images and comments here during my trip which will begin May 27th with a three day drive to Moab UT.

Ron,
Thanks for starting the May results thread and congrats to you continued success on Zytiga. Your stats are somewhat similar to mine(except for no IGRT for me and G7 fro me). ) Hopefully you will be on a remission path for a long time to come.
Those are absolutely some of the nicest photos that I have seen. keep up the excellent work I'm following you now)

Love Arches and Canyonlands around Moab, and also Monument Valley, visited those last year. Next time we Go to Utah, it will be in April instead of June!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Wings of Eagles am I correct in understanding that you've been taking Zytiga since September of 2014 and are still on it?

Ron,
As Ed McMahon used to say "You are Correct, Sir". Todd 16963 has been on it 43-44 months, and others here also have extended time on it with great results. For others like my dear friend Tom, it has not worked at all. I wish there were new stats or studies out stating how effective it has become for the new generation of users.
Another good thing besides my remission is that I am currently on a "Lupron Vacation" since last year. Still have hot flashes and fatigue though, darn it.

I predict your next PSA will be "undetectable".
Keep the Faith, I will be following your posts, Brother Ron. We are all in this together.

Thanks, yeah I've seen Todd's history and his blog. It is reassuring. I'm a hope for the best but expect the worst sort of glass half empty guy. As such I'm rarely disappointed smile.

Wow. Just WOW. Incredible photographs. The sunrise over Badlands is my favourite. The colours are just spectacular. Thanks for sharing this incredible work with us Ron. I wish you much ongoing success with the Zytiga, and can't wait to see some of the photos from your forthcoming journey. Have a wonderful time. All the very best.
