October 23 of 2018, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 prostate cancer. I had a count of 1500 for my PSA. I chose to do 6 rounds of chemo. Lupron shots and Exgeva shots. March 5th I learned my PSA was .80. The bone cancer was left as unchanged and stopped.

Now I have the chance to get my life back. I will continue the shots for the remainder of my life here on Earth. But as of now. I take it day by day. One foot in front of the other.

And always remember.

Oh yeah. And I was diagnosed at the age of 44.
