Hi Guys:
Sorry I haven't been engaged lately...life has been crazy....the
clinical trial, work, daughter graduated HS, going to college,...etc,
etc.
Finished 8/10 doses of
Taxotere and mid way through my hormone
treatment.
Some SE's/issues along the way..... seemed to develop some GERD after
Chemo (better now with meds, netrapenic (addressed w/
Neulasta after
chemo), usual fatigue initially, hair loss (now thin and gray). ADT
gives me occasional night sweats and hot flashes the other usual stuff
but nothing severe.
PSA finally is the lowest it's ever been <0.05. Proof will be my
testerone returns.
Hope you all are well.
Dominic
