As I have a real phobia of hospitals and get really anxious about husband's appointments I couldn't wait until his appointment next week to find out the results of his PSA blood test yesterday so I rang the oncology nurse. Just before his last and final chemo session it was 0.14 and now has dropped to 0.08 so very happy with that news. Glass of wine tonight me thinks
Hi Shar Brilliant news - with what you two have gone through I would be having 2 (not official Macmillan advice).
I am of course not jealous, I have my 6 monthly PSA later this month and last August mine was 0.438 so I have a way to go!!!
Best wishes Brian x

Thank you Brian I can't put into words how well he has and is doing. Right from the, second he was told he has been so positive, never ever been negative and somehow sailed through his chemo with hardly any side effects. I might have to treat him to an extra cruise
I feel I should be saying ‘onwards and upwards’ but really the best thing is this is a case of ‘onwards and downwards and brilliant news!’ You’ve both come such a long way and I’m pleased it’s going so well for you!
Thank you worried wife and I truly hope your journey continues as well as ours is x
It gets better and better :) onwards and downwards in the best possible way for you both!
