My Inhibitor was delivered by currier. One of the side effects is “death.” I’m not making this up. Another warning is that pregnant women should never handle these 500 mg pills without gloves. I presume this warning might be for medical staff. My dosage is two pills or 1000 mg which is the “max dose.”
Understand because of my size and low body weight this max dose is kinda supersized in my case. Somehow my body is handling this drug well.
Supposedly my hormone treatment will last 2 years, and pretty much this too is a max dose. My Cancer metasticised, so they are trying to ensure any spread gets killed off. The prostatectomy was suppose to make me Cancer free, but my post surgery PSA indicated that it had spread beyond my prostate envelope.
This secondary treatment is called “Salvage,” when the primary treatment fails. Understand that I have a stage 4A Cancer, meaning the spread they think remains localized to my pelvic region. Know that all it takes is one Cancer cell for Cancer to spread again.
Scary, but this is my reality…
Around 2:30 you could smell the rain even before it arrived. There were headlines warning of flooding, but updated weather shows possible thunderstorms. It is raining lightly now and the air is cool and refreshing.
“Maggie” and I are doing more talking about setting up a serious mini or micro farm. We are aware that at this level a garden will have to be tended. We also agree that we need to spread our planting to help prevent disease.
Hard to stay awake in the afternoons. This is the accumulated fatigue I’m talking about. I imagine it is a bit like being on heroin where there is this twilight in between being conscious and unconscious, meaning asleep.
Oh-well…
