It's a great channel. I've learned a lot from it.

Aaaack! I did a delete/edit/repost just as you replied. Sorry about that.

Today is the sixth anniversary of my #prostatecancer diagnosis.

I had my latest quarterly labs&scans today. The results are already in:
* Lymph node mets: no significant changes (good news)
* Bone mets: no new or worsening lesions (good news)
* PSA is <0.01 (excellent news)

"Shirt-tail cousin" is a usefully vague term.

Much easier than "my uncle's second wife's ex-son-in-law's stepdaughter."

The Count didnโ€™t bother me. The theme song did. Little kid lost in the big city, asking for directions over and over, โ€œCan you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?โ€ Always creeped me out.

@allysonbeatrice.bsky.social My apologies. On re-read, I see my comment could be taken two ways. The way I intended it was that I thought perhaps my great-grandma's phrase described how you were feeling.

I'm sorry I don't have any useful suggestions on how to not feel that way.

My great-grandma had a phrase: "All et up with the I-don't-cares."

I have had a very good response to ADT and chemo, so I will probably die โ€ขwithโ€ข whatโ€™s left of my prostate cancer, not from it directly.

The first one hit me hard. I hope you have an easier time of it.

The second shot had negligible side effects.

Schedule says "vs. Birmingham" not "@ Birmingham" so I think that means they are home. Check me on that?

Chemo changed a lot of my taste perception. Some has changed back with time, some hasnโ€™t.

Check YouTube for VoicePlay's cover of "We Don't Talk About Bruno." I like it a lot.

I'm interested in your thoughts regarding long-term (52 months and counting....) use of abiraterone and prednisone -- metabolic consequences and how to mitigate side effects.
