PET Scan

Ask me anything, I live in Bentley a village north of Doncaster, PS you would be surprised how many Scots moved here in the 50s and 60s.

Morning Eddie,

Good luck for today! Think about the coffee / tea and lovely toasty you will have when it is over.

Lots of love

HI Daphna no problems yesterday, bladder looks great compared to 3 months ago, couldn't see colonoscopy screen, but there was minimal discomfort and the Dr said everything looked ok, said the bleeding was being caused by RT damage but looked to be healing and would arrange another scan in 3 month for me. Session 4 for Jacob today, do you have a pre-treatment routine or just do what you would normally do, Have you plans for after or does Jacob need a little rest, best wishes to you both, take care.

Hi Eddie,

Great results yesterday for you! So good all clear!

Yes, we have some routine although this morning he also had his 3 months Zoladex injection. He has his water now and then we go. 

No plans for today, it's raining nonstop.

Have a lovely time with your family.

Lots of love

Dafna

Hi Daphna, I'm happy with yesterday, even got an unexpected call from senior urology consultant today. My youngest has gone home. Which I'm guessing is where you two are now, I hope everything went well and no issues with Zoladex and RT on same day, I have HT and PSA June 5th, my PSA is rising from 0.08 > 0.24 > 0.48 so could be last Prostap HT, we will see. Only 2 to go for Jacob and you, then the whole summer to enjoy. best wishes to you both.

Hi Eddie,

Thank you. Yes, we are home now and so far all is good.

Your rise in PSA is it of concern? if the HT stop what is next for you?

Lots of love

Dafna

Hi Eddie.

Good news with the results yesterday.

I'm not sure that they will stop the Prostap even with a rising PSA because it is still doing its job in stopping testosterone production. Hubby has his testosterone checked every time he has a recurrence and we have been told that he will continue on Prostap for as long as he remains below castration level.

Hi Daphna home warm and dry out of the rain, kettle on and feet up I hope. When the prostap is ineffective we discussed an androgen blockade enzalutamide, flutamide with either bicalutamide or abiraterone, will know more in three weeks, though consultant has said we are waiting for PSA to get to1.5, the 18 month low was 0.08 which it was at for 15 months, so 1.5 seems a little arbitrary to me, though I'm not in a good place for it to concern me. take care.
