I'm glad to see the new technology and treatment options. A cure would be great. My husband was treated for the same thing around the same time with (I suppose) regular targeted radiation combined with ADT and is still clear, but his radiation oncologist said that we could toss around the word "cured" after 10 years of clear scans and blood work. Let's hope that this is a cure for all patients.
Prostate cancer is a fairly easily treated cancer if caught early, and a tough SOB if you miss that window or have the aggressive form. If I had a penny for everyone who told us that at least it was "only" prostate cancer since it's curable, or that it's not like he has ________(fill in the blank form of cancer). Or wonders why we get nervous before every blood draw. There are definitely tougher types of cancer - and my daughter works in the field of pancreatic cancer so we know how "lucky" we are - but cancer in any form is a life changing experience.
That said if you have read this far in my little pity party, lolol, you should check out what my decorator does for kids going through cancer treatment. My decorator isn't a cook, and when a group of neighbors was setting up a meal train for the family of a girl who had just started cancer treatment, she said that "I can't cook but I can help make her room a comforting space while she went through treatments" and the rest is history. She does a room makeover for the patient, and even freshens up the rooms of any siblings in the house since everyone in the home is affected by the treatment. Her husband had recently gone through his own cancer treatment. I really admire her tenacity. She has even inspired other chapters throughout the country. Look up Savvy Giving By Design. You can see some of the room reveals on youtube searching SavvyGivingbyDesign .(Not sure if a link is allowed and I'm only posting this as an interesting story).
