Treatment up date

Your cancer may be incurable, but the hormone therapy will usually hold it for a while, and the chemo can be very effective. Once you've had the six rounds, you should get a break, and then they'll be considering if anything further is needed immediately.

A lot of the decisions will be based on your symptoms, so always report anything new that concerns you.

Hi

Not having many side effects is a big plus with chemotherapy, was radiotherapy offered ? You still have to be careful with working and chemotherapy small viruses at this time of year cannot be good for you, so temperature is a good guide.

Your PSA should drop further, which is great keep positive.

Stay safe

Thanks for your reply 

Thanks for the information 

Hi I’m on a similar path to you. Same Gleason score and 6 rounds of chemo. 24 hours after each round given a white blood cell stimulating jab to keep infections away. After chemo given 20 rounds of RT and have been on Prostap 3 for 3 years. PSA just started to rise so oncologist is monitoring levels 3 monthly.  He may add an extra drug if need be. There are plenty of options and I’m sure you will respond well.
