Everyone is doing well and we thank God for this precious gift to these wonderful parents.

About Me

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in May 2004. I had surgery in July 2004 to remove my prostate. Unfortunately, the cancer had escaped the prostate and invaded my lymph nodes. I elected to have chemotherapy in hopes of killing it while it was small. The chemo was a horrible experience but it kept my PSA "undetectable" for over a year. Then, my PSA started to rise again. My oncologist put me on Lupron injections every four months. Lupron stops the production of testosterone. The Lupron worked for just over a year and my PSA began to rise again. My oncologist put me on Casodex along with the Lupron. Casodex is a pill I take daily. It worked! My PSA is now undectectable again. However, I consulted with two radiologist that agreed that radiation might help since my disease is reacting like it is localized in the prostate bed. So, on Monday, May 5, 2008, I began a series of radiation treatments. I got a total of 39 treatments over an 8-week period.
