Oh how time flies. I am now at the end of my 4th year struggle with cancer. I am still under active treatment, which means I still have to go to the hospital every 3 months for medical check, blood test and injection (ADT - androgen deprivation therapy). This injection is in addition to the medication I'm taking, Xtandi.
There seems to be no end in sight. It is like a life long journey and the longer it drags it's getting more tiring. Anyway the consolation is that the 2 tumors, one at my pelvic bones and the other between my shoulder blades, had almost disappear after my radiotherapy and 6 months of chemo. Now I do not have to take my painkiller (oxycodone) 3 times a day, just once a day.
I am now like a handicap person due to all the medication, injection and chemo and also due to my already badly damaged bones. I'm also not spared the anxiety and panic attack and I really hate the mood swing. Well I am very fortunate to have a very supportive family which makes life easier.
