Had my 6 monthly PSA test on Thursday evening. Got the results back yesterday. Came back as 0.03
Happy about that, when I was told that I was in Biochemical Remission in February (which was harder to take than the original diagnosis) I thought that this reading would be back up in the danger zone.
As long as my PSA levels can stay between 0 and 2, (checking every 6 months), I won't require any further treatment.
So no more Hormone Injections ️, but I still have to get them out of my system which could be up to a year by the time I am firing on all cylinders (as they say).
I could put my Doom and Gloom head on and say my PSA levels went up 0.06 . But I won't.
The Hot Flushes are going into overdrive , I'm getting them in the daytime now, never used to happen. Maybe it's their way of telling me who is Boss.
I don't know if anyone else is using an app called 'airmid'? It's for my doctor's appointments, repeat prescriptions, I can access m
y medical records, including letters from hospitals, quite good really.
My blood results were available for me to see the day after I had them done at the Doctor's. Bloody quick eh!
Anyway I just thought I'd share some good news, it's not that often we can.
Best of luck to everyone.
Hi Steve,
That is excellent news, I’m so happy for you. It must be a big weight off your shoulders.
I have my first blood test in 10 days time and consultation with my oncologist in 18 days. This will be my first after 37 sessions of radiotherapy and to be honest I’m dreading it, what if my PSA has gone up?
I bet you’ll be glad to get rid of the hot flushes, I tend to get a bad one a week after I’ve had an injection.
Once again well done.
Tyler
