I am a Stage 4 prostate cancer survivor, Gleason Score 9, with the BRCA 1 Gene. I've had surgery, chemo, and radiation.

Also…3 PSMA PET scans.

What helps me plow through this battle is a focused and determined outlook.

If you would like a few tips on how to stay mentally strong as you confront these challenges, please send me a message. I'll send you a link so you can download a copy of my free eBook: Think And Fight Cancer: The Essential Mental Techniques.

I want to respect the rules of the American Cancer Society Cancer Survivors Network, so I will not post the link here, but invite you to send me a message if this short eBook interests you.

I have been on a combination of Orgovyx and Xtandi for 15 months now, and the meds are working well. My PSA is at an undetectable level. Side effects are minimal although it would sure be nice to be done with all the hot flashes.

But that's me. (Age: 72, Gleason Score 9, BRCA1 Gene, Prostate removed in 2017.)

We all know our individual situations differ. Some of us may be handed a "Medical Vacation" by our oncologist and some of us may be at a risk level that precludes this.

In any event, onward we go.

In the face of all the uncertainties we confront, let's be mentally strong and push back against the anxieties and fears cancer attempts to create.

Whatever your situation, best wishes, and have a terrific day.
