Sorry for the long delay on an update, but I wanted WordPress to push a new version of the app out so hopefully everyone can read without a problem.
I’m still in the hospital, just finished treatment 6 of 12. Going stir crazy, but thankfully I get to move thru the hospital for the treatments, so it’s not 100% of my time in the room. After the treatments I go to a rehab hospital for two weeks.
My wife, Lisa is a lifesaver. The food here is terrible beyond bad. She’s keeping me well fed and cared for.
The hospital staff is great, couldn’t ask for better.
My movement in my left leg is encouraging, but not great. My right leg is mostly twitches, but some movement. No prognosis on how long it will take to regain whatever I can regain.
I remain in pretty good spirits. I know rehab is going to be tough, but I’m ready for it.
Yet Another Prostate Cancer Blog 
Thinking of you and hoping for the best outcome. Cheers, Phil
Thanks, I’m pushing
You got this! 🙏🏻😊♥️
Progress is good. Get those other six treatments done.
Gonna do it!
You go, boy! Work that phone to keep yourself sane. When I was in the hospital, my phone was my lifeline. Meditations, movies, music, calls to friends and family. If I had trouble sleeping, I just put my earbuds in and listened to something soothing. Wishing you luck and fast healing!
That’s exactly what I’m doing. Can’t imagine how boring this would be without the phone.
I’ve been following your blog, but am new to writing. Do you know what tests pin pointed the tumors on your spine?
Hubby has had metastatic prostate cancer for 2 1/2 years now, and has been dealing with sciatic pain for this time. Fractured sacrum was cemented, and cancer spots on T8 and T11 are seen but not thought to be responsible. I believe the radiation treatments are responsible for the sciatic nerve issue. FYI he has had Zytiga, then Taxotere, and two series of Jevtana. We are taking a break now, but expect another Jevtana series will be done.
Sure. They used both MRIs and CAT scans to locate the tumors. I understand both work well.
Sorry to hear you hubby is going thru this. It’s not easy. I was on Lipton and casodex, then Xtandi and now Zytiga. Ive been lucky, no fractures. Haven’t been on taxotere or jevtana. It’s nice to get a break. Best wishes to you both.
I’ve been following your blog for awhile and it is inspiring and informative. Please keep posting!
My issues are somewhat similar to what Barb describes an$ I saw it great to read about what others are experiencing and how they are dealing with it.
Glad you find helpful. Thanks for reading it
Yes, can read.
Good to get an update and know that you are in good spirit!

Very glad you’re halfway through the radiation regimen…and that Lisa is keeping you sane. Stay strong!
Cheers to all the spouses out there that keep us cancer people sane and moving forward! Wishing you strength in body and spirit!
All the best
