I don't know if you realize it but you give people hope that are dealing with this monster and here you are fighting it yourself. I search the web daily (more like every other hour) hoping to see some kind of new drug or miracle breakthrough. My husband is young like you with stage 4 and now we live our lives in three week intervals. He's responding extremely well with the taxotere - psa 1,000 down to 5.3. His oncologist says it's rare to get a great response like that. So far he has had 5 rounds. They gave him a break since the psa was so low. It's really something how men respond so differently with each treatment. He didn't repond to the homone therapy very well. He still gets eligard injections but hormone therapy only lasted 5 months and that was the triple therapy added with casodex, eligard and avodart. I'm glad to see new advances being made in reseach and treatments. It's about time! Please don't give up hope. You're the best!<br /><br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10577926.post-26856650644639938522011-12-01T16:52:19.692-06:002011-12-01T16:52:19.692-06:00Great news, hang in there Dave.. :)

He has been on Casodex, taxotere and just recently Zytiga, which all have stopped working. We are gwtting scans on December 8th at Sloan Kettering to see if we are eligible for the trial XL184. My fingers are crossed that this drug will help my husband with his bone pain, and help to shrink the tumors throughout his body. Hang in there and stay positive.

If you can deal with the side effects, I hope and pray that the tumors keep receding! You are such an amazing man and if anyone can get through this, YOU can!!! Of course, that's easy for me to say, since I'm not going through it. I am sending my love and all positive thoughts!<br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10577926.post-9496465074720462482011-11-30T16:02:09.457-06:002011-11-30T16:02:09.457-06:00That is great you are already seeing an improvemen...That is great you are already seeing an improvement on the bone scan.
