Well started on Jevanta 3 weeks ago first PSA jumped 35 points from 181.9 to 223.9. Starting second treatment tomorrow hope the PSA goes down a little. The Chemo is much better for me then Taxotere which made me deathly sick and had to stop after 6 treatments. This Chemo my hair grew back, no lose of taste, appetite good.
Almost to good to be true. Hoping it was just a flare last Pet Scan in Oct showed only activity in lymph nodes.

Have been wondering how you're faring, Jerry.

Chemotherapy infusions are not a "Sunday walk in the park" ---- but you are showing dogged determination, every step of the way.

I'm glad the JEVTANA treatments seem to have milder side effects for you.

Here's wishing you the very best, each day, as your treatments continue.

Camaraderie, fellowship, encouragement ----
