Woody you are absolutely right when you say "It's OK to feel crap" at times. It's often the drugs or the lack of testosterone that makes one feel that way, and it's just something to get through. Those little things in life that bother all of us (parking infractions, losing a lens in your glasses) happen with and without cancer, and can ruin an otherwise good day. But I always remind myself, especially during the 11 years I've coped with prostate cancer, that there's only one direction in life: forward. We all just have to keep going! There is always something good coming. Cheers, Reid

All these medicines have bad side effects. After 16 ys of pc I am on Lutetium now, as chemo did not work any more. Fatigue, bone pain... bad mood... it all comes. Cant be helped..

I've been looking at the general cancer data on Ivermectin... and specifically the NIH papers on it and prostate cancer. Have a link but YT is funny about that sort of thing.

This holds true for Apigenin, Curcumin, and several others. Integrated analysis reveals FOXA1 and Ku70/Ku80 as targets of ivermectin in prostate cancer - PubMed pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36050295/ Herein, we report the pharmacological effects and targets of ivermectin in prostate cancer. Ivermectin caused G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, induced cell apoptosis and DNA damage, and decreased androgen receptor (AR) signaling in prostate cancer cells. Further in vivo analysis showed ivermectin could suppress 22RV1 xenograft progression.

The week after the hormone injection is the worst for me. Just had my second last week. The mood swings are rough. I understand wanting to just get away sometimes. Things seem to pile on and I often feel overwhelmed. Glad to see you out walking.

Thank you.

Couldn’t agree more just found out my treatment is failing again, down to last option. I go to the casino when I need to get away not the cheapest option but nice to be in an upbeat place where nobody knows my situation. Can just zone out and forget real life for a bit, God bless and thanks for giving a voice to this.

I'm sorry to hear this Michael. Everyone needs there own place to go to when they want to escape. Keep strong and hopefully there will be another option available to you in the near future.

I'm an old Brit in Canada, ex RAF apprentice. Just had 22 radiation sessions and ADT/hormone treatment which will continue until late Dec. Having car trouble and don't want to pay for repair. Missed a tax deadline and now trying to reopen my file. Feeling a bit homesick and remembering Air Force days with affection. Sometimes struggling with fear and anxiety but reading a lot and my church friends and religious/philosophical beliefs help. Thanks for posting your videos which I find helpful. Not so much worried about prostate cancer as the bloody car which is a bit bizarre but there it is.

I know the feeling, I find I got more stressed out about the silly things at times that at the end of the day don't actually mean much compared to the cancer.

It is difficult dealing with cancer...thank you for sharing...blessings!

Thanks again for sharing. Iam on similar journey for the last few years with hormone treatment. Mind yourself, you always speak in line with Shakespeare's words " To thine ownself be true " God bless Phil. My late brother used always say, keep laughing" especially when you don't feel like it.

Thank you, we all have to keep positive and laughter is good medicine

Woody- I agree that the system is rubbish at screening for this. That’s why lots of us end up here. As you know, try to keep positive, there’s lots of good therapies out there and more coming along-don’t let it grind you down- the mental side of this is as important as the physical-I am just about to go out in the rain and wind on my bike for a ride-we all have to do everything in our power to fight this!

I'm feeling more positive and I take heart from all of the kind comments , we have to fight this and never give in

It is not easy, I feel the same way.

Woody. I totally understand and agree. It is one thing after another. Life is that way, however, now that we have cancer, there is no time nor any patience for the terrible things that our bodies have to go through. The only ones who understand are those of us who have had to deal with it. All I can say is that tomorrow is another day, and it may be better or may be worse. Its really hard, but all of us have to decide on a daily basis if we can do this and for how long. One more thing. The hell with the little things in life that can piss us off. All that matters now is our survival. You seem like a survivor, although it is a major pain in the ass.

@@Livingwith-prostatecancer Cancer is draining and can ruin your day if you let it. And, we have all let it. Thanks for sharing your feelings with us, as we can all identify with your feelings. When you are down, just take a break and dont do anything drastic. Feel lousy and get over it. Wish we could help. (And, unless you really need the medication, such as Lupron, consider ending that crap, as Lupron has so many terrible side effects, so that I refused it after one year and very glad I did that). How is your most current PSA test score? Rob

Hi Woody, good weeks bad weeks, last week so much pain for me, scary because this is the first time i go 6 months between psa tests previous 3 months, this week I feel great and done nothing different, agree 100% regarding guys, doctors PSA, if I was on holiday in Thailand, walk in off street have test ,get result same day about £20-00, some of the doctors here you would think you were asking for a new pair lungs !!
