    Yes, I am without pain, quite a relief. The therapy has been cancelled for the moment since I don't trust the clinic any longer. On March 8 I have an appointment with my urologist in the hospital, I want honest answers first. I am not afraid to go into the machine again nor do I mistrust the therapy itself but I want an explanation first.

    Been to my urologist today, finally.... The bad news is that there no 100% reliable explanation for the pain I experienced after the 2 treatments. Nevertheless I will go back into the machine next week and try again in the hope that whatever was wrong at the time over there is now healed. The (relative) good news is that if the pain will happen again and thus not suited for therapy it doesn't mean a death penalty because while the hormone therapy doesn't cure, the cancer growth is slowed down. As for the ugly news, I exposed my appointed docter at the clinic as a liar, he was telling scaring fables to get me into the machine.



    There are two kinds of people in the world, my friend: Those with a rope around the neck, and the people who have the job of doing the cutting

    Have had now 4 new radiation sessions, no pain. 21 more to go. And so I was an exceptional case after all. Usually it's nice to be exceptional and right, this time it was not ;)

    And thanks for all your prayers!

    Do you need a nightlight when you get up in the middle of the night to go to the salle de bains, or do you glow in th dark?

    I have wondered how it is to be blind and so I have practiced to find the bathroom with my eyes closed. Helped also to fall in sleep quickly afterwards :)

    Update... after the 6th radiation session it went wrong again, another (different) extreme allergic reaction leaving the doctors clueless again. It took me 1½ week to recover from it. So radiation therapy stopped once again, this time for good.

    And for the good news, today I was told my PSA value dropped from 14 (bad) to 0.09 (extremely good) due to the hormone therapy. It basically means the cancer hardly is active. From one extremity to the other.

    Once again, thanks for all your prayers, I believe there is a relationship :cool:

    Dani You're probably fine.

    Wow I'm sorry you're having to go through all that. I'm glad things are getting under control. I work for a urologist and meet men like yourself all the time. Thankfully there's great treatment options, and prostate CA is highly survivable.

    Prayers added for you. *hugs*

    Glad to hear your doing better. It’s terrible that the road has been bumpy getting there.

    Sounds really ugly, but good the PSA dropped. I don't know what that means but numbers going from "bad" to "extremely good" seems like a solid move.

    It's been said that people die with prostate CA, not from.

    Men at my age (via a blood test) are supposed to have a PSA value of 3.0 - 4.0, if it is above there is a risk on cancer. The 2 opposed extremeties lies in the fact that for reasons unknown I can't undergo radition therapy but respond extremely well on hormone therapy, with a PSA value of 0.09 I am now officially an "it" :rolleyes:
