That’s fantastic news. Especially at that age. Is it Myeloma? If so he must have been fit because it’s really heavy treatment that often doesn’t get offered to people at the old end of the spectrum.PASTA wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 10:33 amMan, you are in my thoughts, this is precisely what my (now) 73 year old Father in Law started about 6 years ago. He's currently no evidence of disease. And doing amazing, all things considered.Gramsci wrote: Wed Nov 01, 2023 10:14 am So tests, tests, tests.
No bone damage. Standard genetic risk profile, stable and improved kidney function.
As positive as I can hope for so far.
This will still kill me one day, but universe willing a long time from now.
Treatment starts in two weeks. Four months of low intensity therapy while they farm my Stem Cells. Then they’re going to hit me with a sledgehammer, destroying my immune system then rebuild it with my own Stems.
Then it’s hopefully years of maintenance.
I’m currently trying to build up my mental health robustness with reading about trauma coping and diving hard back into my meditation practice.

Great news man. Yep. Regular health checks, with blood work has saved me from a much worse prognosis. It’s still fucked, but I could have just suddenly died of kidney failure around Christmas…twelvepoint wrote: Thu Nov 02, 2023 8:23 pm Today I had my second PSA test since my surgery. Again, it’s below the limits of detection, which is what we want.
As it’s now Movember, I’m gonna take a moment here and gently say, men: get your tests done!

Thanks. It’s a big relief. It’s still something no one wants but that it’s non aggressive and hasn’t taken hold is a big deal.
