I can't believe it is exactly one year since husband was diagnosed and we were waiting for more tests to decide the treatment path. One year on husband is doing so well. He has completed 6 sessions of chemo, with very few side effects, just a slight metallic taste for a few days after each session. He continues to be on 3 monthly hormone injections but we are looking to switch to every 6 months. Has anyone else done this? He also takes his daily chemo tablets. Life is good we have been on 2 cruises so far far with a few more booked so lots to look forward to. What I am trying to say is that for anyone newly diagnosed then life can still be good, even though this time last year I didn't believe it, I never ever thought I would feel happy again. My waking thoughts in the middle of the night was prostrate cancer and stayed with me throughout the day. As soon as husband knew what we were dealing with and the treatment path was things felt more positive. Tomorrow he has another PSA blood test and I must admit I am feeling anxious but as the oncologist says there are plenty of other treatments waiting in the wings if needed. Better go and start that washing and get packing for the next holiday. Got to make good use of that travel insurance as it cost an arm and a leg
Hi Shar
Well what can I say? I remember clearly you coming onto the forum dare I say it - like a rabbit in the car headlights. Question followed question but once you had the diagnosis, sorted the oncologist out and a treatment plan sorted - everything settled down.
It's great to read your one year on post and it goes to show that with a PSA of almost 60 things can get better.
Enjoy life - you deserve it with what you have been through.

Hi Shar,
What a wonderful 1 year review which is full of positive vibes & will hopefully re-assure anyone who is going through a similar journey. Fingers crossed for a great PSA result tomorrow & long may your cruises continue.
Have a great holiday
All the best tomorrow
