Stage Four Smiling

Neil Crabtree

October 2024

DESCRIPTION:

This short eBook is part of a series based on my cancer diagnosis and the various treatments. It is about the shock of
hearing your doctor say, "I've got some bad news." For years, I have had to deal with skin cancer (melanoma) then with Prostate Cancer (Stage Four). I keep finding out how great it is to survive and feel my life now more precious than ever. Readers will identify with the symptoms and side-effects. For now, I say proudly, I'm Not Dead Yet. That's also the title of my upcoming novel, and the theme that governs not only my life, but the lives of people I love.

EXCERPT:

I take a castration chemo drug every day, Abiraterone Acetate, 1000mg in four tablets. To make it work, I take a steroid, Prednisone. Chemical castration keeps the prostate cancer from spreading to my bones via testosterone. Prostate cancer won’t kill me, Doctor Sharma assures me. Cancer in the bones could kill me and so we reduce that possibility as best we can. Low testosterone in a major industry target market, for most men feeling less vigorous than before. But…if you increase your testosterone level and thus increase your PSA, you may learn what price glory the hard way.
