In 2006 I was diagnosed with stage, locally advanced prostate cancer. My Gleason Scores were 8's and 9's. I had a little more than 2 years of hormone suppression via Zoladex shots every 3 months and daily Casodex tabs. I completed 43 (I think) radiation treatments around Christmas of 2006. Since then in every exam the cancer as been undetectable. I attribute these good results, so far, to the skills of my doctors and technicians and to a positive attitude, thanks mostly to what I learn in AA. Also, I developed what may have been an effective imaging practice based on a dream. I am considering giving the details of all of the above in future posts on this blog.
My cancer experience is on my mind now because my annual blood work, exam and visit to the Radiation Oncologist who treated me comes up next month
