g0177325: I was wondering how your prostate cancer treatment was going.

So far, very well. On May 15, it'll be one year since my last round of chemotherapy. I am currently receiving three cancer treatments: one oral, twice daily; one injection, now every three months; and one infusion, also every three months (used to be monthly).

Currently, I am in 'biochemical remission,' which may last for several months or for many years (or until the medications stop working). Generally, I feel (mostly) great but am navigating treatment side effects which include insomnia, depression (which only became a problem when a woman who was important to me in high school died unexpectedly earlier this year), and weight gain, but no complaints. I feel lucky. I am doing what I can to stay lucky, including two to three hours of exercise a day, being careful about the foods I eat, and trying to remain positive. Thanks for asking.
