All,
I just got back with blood test results, PSA is less than their labs lowest reliable measurement at <0.06,
I claimed this ahead of time on Thursday in reply to Todd:

P.S. I am here and now already claiming a PSA of undetectable, as I get my 4 month PSA tommorrow!
Keep the Faith

My testosterone level is also very low at 45. This time, the doc was slightly concerned with my rising trend of my creatinine level at 1.3 (where .66-1.2 ) is standard for men my age. He wants me to redo that test to see is my kidney function is alright. It's always sumthin, right?

I just feel blessed to share this and tell others as I always say, to "keep the faith". At the same time I feel the pain of those whose lives are being slowly taken away by this terrible beast and my empathy is without bounds. Hoping and praying for a cure for all of us.

Hello Wings Of Eagles,

I am so thankful to hear your good news ...

Forty-two months on ZYTIGA ... it's a powerful testimonial to the impact and importance of the newer breakthrough medications and treatments that have emerged within the past few years ... XTANDI, ZYTIGA, XOFIGO, and specifically formulated chemotherapy, suited to the needs of the patient ... just to name a few ...

I'm following just a few months behind you, getting close to nearly three years on ZYTIGA ... and each month's empty bottle is lined up on a shelf, as a way to mark my progress on ZYTIGA. Thankfully, it has helped other friends of mine, including you, Wings Of Eagles.

These first-hand accounts and experiences you have shared are invaluable --- doctors are still assessing the impact of these newer medications, and how they can be used in new ways to extenuate their effectiveness ... and how they might be used in conjunction with other treatments and medications for an even greater impact.

Keep forging ahead --- you have blazed a trail for other readers to follow --- and I thank you for the hope, loyal support, and encouragement you share with others, here in the website.

Keep shining the light and blazing the trail, Wings Of Eagles!

Friendship, fellowship, and brotherhood,
CYCLONE - Iowa State University

Great! Thanks for posting. This is giving some of us hope ... my husband's PSA is rising, so it is probably time to start the Zytiga or chemo. Would much rather he be able to go the Zytiga route, even with the cost involved. Next dr appointment next week will be the deciding factor.

You are my American Idol. Well, Todd1963 really is but you're right up there.

GoBucks,
Thanks, but I can't sing a note! I'm proud to be going on this path with so many others, hoping we will all go this way, towards remission... Proud also to be going along this journey with Todd Seals, now HE can really sing!

P.S. are you a Milwaukee Bucks fan?
