Got the results of my first post diagnosis PSA result today. Down from 111 5 weeks ago to 1.97 today! The Zoladex has definitely worked its magic!
Now onto the chemo is a few weeks to really grind the big C down!
so happy tonight
Hi Grantyo12.
Good evening, great results my friend I am so glad that the meds are working very very well.
Bring on the Chemo to kick that C right up the backside!!!!
Have a great evening celebrating and have one for me!!!!

Well, Grantyo12 - that’s a brilliant result, as I think you have been on hormone therapy for only a month? I think you can expect further drops, after such a dramatic 98% drop in such a short time. I love your positivity about looking forward to the chemo - you deserve this result - and the chemo should , as you say, bring the cancer down (especially as it has been stopped in its tracks and significantly weakened by the HT).
I look forward to seeing your next update .. AW

Yes to be honest I was really shocked by the drop. It’s 6 weeks today since I took the first Bicalutamide tablet and 5 weeks today the first Zoladex went in. I thought it would still be 20 or 30ish. Particularly as I have had thus far almost zero sude effect's.
I’m just waiting to see an oncologist at the moment, but hopefully the chemo should start in 3 or 4 weeks time.
will definitely keep the group updated!
