  My dad has metastatic Prostate Cancer for the past 30 months, he is currently on Xtandi now (last cancer meds approved) He will move on to chemo again for the last time. The meds he is on now has slowed his psa but it continues to rise (at 9.3 now) doctor wants to keep him on it another month cause once they move to chemo they cant go back. My dad is very fatigue and in pain, sleeps 16 hours a day on a bad day. ...

Maybe his journey will help someone in earlier stage of this disease. Thanks in-advance (See Timeline below)   October 2008:  Darrell, 57 was diagnosed with Stage II - Gleason 8 Prostate Cancer  (First one in his family line)   ...
