Amazing Update: My Dad's Latest PET Scan Shows He is Cancer Free at 82!

In summary, the speaker's father was able to achieve being cancer-free at the age of 82 after undergoing a year of treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, as well as making significant changes to his diet and lifestyle. He was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer and experienced side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and hair loss, but they were manageable and worth it for his cancer-free status. Although he is now cancer-free, he will still need to undergo regular check-ups to monitor his health and prevent a recurrence. The experience has brought the family closer together and made them appreciate each other and their health more.

:party:So glad to hear your Dad is cancer free!!! What a relief!!!:party:

During the last week in October my parents and I head to Bufflalo to get my Dad's one year check up at Roswell Park from lung cancer. We are hoping for the same results!! He has been doing good. He is 76 and has been through quite a bit of surgeries in the last 3 years.
