Hi ,
just received a letter from oncologist and my OH was initially PSE14 and following bloods being done 18th before he started Aberaterone it’s dropped to 7 with the Prostap which he started 25th June . We are happy with the drop so far . It just needs to continue . It’s still not plain sailing as they don’t know if there are additional lymph nodes involved until he gets his next MRI scan. Honestly didn’t think it would drop as quick. Here’s to his next blood works on Monday .
Hope everyone has a calming weekend .

Good evening Liz.
A 50% drop in 3.5 weeks on Prostap is very good. The Abiraterone should make it plummet. Have a good weekend.
Hi Linda , thank you just now hope that it continues . Next blood test Monday. We will have a little celebratory glass tonight xx
Hi Johnam.
Good afternoon and thanks for the update!!!
Yes his PSA numbers are great so far and there's no reason why they won't drop further now that he has started the tablet's.
I wish you both the best for Monday & please please let us know how you get on!!!!!!

Morning Liz from a beautiful summer day in Brighton,
Our oncologist said in our first meeting it is not a sprint it is a marathon. And then he said you are at the start of the marathon. At the time, in the dark days of diagnosis, I just wanted the kitchen sink throw on this and not empty words.
I realized how right he was and to quote the princess of Wales, we learnt to be patient with the unknown.
Brilliant results with the PSA drop. Have a lovely weekend.
Lots of love
Dafna
Thank you Dafna. It’s much appreciated these very wisdom words xxx
