Well today I recieved my 3rd dose of the cancer poison. sadly it looks like it’s not been a poisonous ️ as I’d of hoped for!

part of my bloods on Monday, ready for today were a post cycle 2 PSA. My PSA pre chemo cycle 1 was a very very promising 0.47 but my results today after 2 cycles was a rather disappointing 1.59!

has anyone else experienced this on their chemo journey?

the nurs said not to worry. Easier said than done. Thankfully im seeing my oncologist on Monday, so thankfully not too long to wait for his thoughts.

Thanks, hope your numbers get sorted with Plan B!

It is a subject which is getting a lot more attention now, particularly with the timing of hormone and chemotherapy initial administration in relation to time before biochemical recurrence.

So glad that you are sailing through. Keep positive but be careful with all the bugs around.

Hi Grantyo12, I’m sure it’s just a blip. All the very best of wishes for your next PSA. Keep kicking Ass.

Hi Alwayshope, I do hope there is. It’s something I say everyday to OH as he’s taking his cocktail of poison. “Time to kick ass”. It seems to be doing the trick.

There are some but I am having a problem putting them on.

There is a good one of a donkey doing a back kick.

I went into the emoji search on my mobile and entered kick ass. But when I try adding it then it shows in the text but disappears when the Reply is pressed. Same for the leg and foot emoji.
