some here may remember me posting about my dad and his fight against prostate cancer on the bunker.

My dad’s PSA is doubling every 5 months. Usual doubling rate is every 12 months. His PSA is still under 1.0, which is good, but at this point we’re just waiting for it to reach 10.0 because that is when his oncologist begins hormone therapy. I don’t know a whole lot about this therapy, but I know it’s suppose to be awful on your body.

Maybe we’ll eventually get some good news to follow the string of bad news. I know some have thrown my dad some T&Ps in the past and just know it’s greatly appreciated.

Will say a prayer for your Dad, SSV.
Keep us posted please.
 
Hey @Ser Sweater Vest any update? Hope things are going well.
Nothing much to report.. PSA is still too low to start hormone therapy. It’s passed the point of curing him obviously, but we’re just gonna make the most of the time he has. Him and my mom are doing a lot of traveling.

I appreciate you checking in man, means a lot.

No problem man. We’ll keep him and your family in our prayers.

My dad had another scan done earlier this week. The cancer showed up in some lymph nodes near the prostate area, and in his pelvis.

Him and my mother are going back to MD Anderson in November.
