In September I saw my regular doctor for frequent urination. He sent me to a urologist. She had me catherize three times a day. After a couple of weeks she sent me to a surgeon who told me I needed a turp on my prostate. we scheduled the torp and we felt after the healing time things would get better. Well the labs came back with prostate cancer but not the benign type. With my psa at .02 and the cancer cells barely staining as prostate I was diagnosed with stage 4.Then the drs wanted a bone scan,they found that the cancer had spread. They decided that it was very aggressive so my chemo has been very aggressive. I feel I am very lucky, I have had no nausea, no pain, no dizzy spells,I do get very tired and have no stamina but after a ewwk and a half I get some energy back. I am two thirds done now and pray it stays the same.
