Thanks for all the replies. My husband had his shot of Lupron yesterday and will start the radiation in 2 months. (Something about having to wait to let the shot do its stuff first) then 36 treatments of radiation along with the shot. I am just amazed at all the people & DRS who think this disease is "no big deal" "just take it out and your cured" per what his surgeon told him. You have to be on top of this and monitor psa's for the rest of your life. I am saddened by the death of Dan Fogelberg, who died of prostate cancer at the age of 56. Best of luck to all you guys out there, keep on top of this and demand to get your psa checked when you need it.
