    Hi,

    Welcome to ythis friendly forum. Ijust over six years ago I was in the same siyuation as your husband is now. I was also telling my wife I was going to beat it which I did with the great treatment I recieved. I had two years on hormone therapy and also 37 radiotherapy sessions and my psa came down from a high od 70 to the lowest they can measure at 0.01. I

    I hope that your husband also make a great recovery. Wishing you both all the very best, Brian.
