Mark... thanks for the perceptive write up. I bet most of us share many of your feelings. Good luck with the coming PSA test.

Rob...great to be done, but WARNING....SP is the slowest wallet draw I've ever met. He’ll never actually buy the beers.

I’ve got nine to go. Can’t wait to join you guys on the future PSA watch. :

Well today was fun, had fiducials and SpaceOar installed, next Monday MRI and simulation. 6 weeks since 6 month Lupron, just beginning to feel it. RO says 28 hypofractions. Sitting in a Longhorn steakhouse enjoying a great ribeye. Big diet change next week. Never had my balls taped to my stomach before. Sorry just realized this thread is for salvage not primary treatment, my apologies.

To all you guys just finishing up...great job! Congratulations!

Life....I think its alright to share your experience here...I do and I'm a RT guy. Really not much difference...I never had to deal with the tape thing though.

Whoa— I only offered to buy a beer. Gary, we’ll need your credit card number for the next round.

Hey guys great news on finishing up this week! As I have told you I was very emotional on bell ringing day i had built up some real friendships with people at hope lodge and had a great tech crew they become like your family. course I blamed the tears on lupron might as well get something from it!!! Ha Ha i still keep in contact with a lot of the people from the hope lodge

The after-radiation stories sound like the break-ups of other tight groups — the cast in a play, for example, or a small class at semester’s end, or maybe the last night of a cruise or crossing.
Looking forward to mine in only three months from now!

Good point.

I think the after A/SRT stories require an entirely new thread. idea

Best of luck progressing, Progressing. smile

Congratulations Mark!

I felt many of the same emotions - kind of a surprise really. And I feel a little bit lost today - looking forward to getting back to my normal routine, but also feel like I should still be doing something to attack this ****ing disease - not just waiting and getting PSA tests. Hoping for the zero club for you Mark.

Saipan - I raised a MaiTai in your honor at dinner last night - seemed appropriate.

Grunt through it Garyi - the end is in sight.

Cheers all!

Sorry, Rob, my wife drank your beer. I tried to stop her, but when she’s thirsty there’s no getting in her way.

It's good news! PSA undetectable!!

Today was the day at the Mayo Clinic three months removed from SRT. The doctor came in with a big smile to tell me the good news. My next PSA will be in six months. Count me in as a fan of SRT+ADT following failed surgery. Going to a nice steak dinner with my wife tonight to celebrate. My first steak since October. turn

AZ...keep it gone! What is steak?
Posted 5/10/2018 3:02 PM (GMT 0)
Well it was the most delicious steak ever. I think I'm going to treat myself to a steak once every quarter. Dairy and processed foods are still out. And I will start eating chicken and turkey again (in moderation).

That's the same way I drink. I think.
Did you pair a nice big Cab with that steak?

When you read a story like Fairwinds, makes you realize yea Lupron ain't no fun but man if it can keep the darn beast in it's cage for the next 20 yrs I got it pretty good!!
