I am on my 4th chemo this Thursday part of triple therapy , my PSA was over 1500 which came down to 40 in a month, last PSA was 43 but Oncologist was not worried, had a telephone conversation with him yesterday and said we will do a scan after you last chemo treatment that will be the 6th one but be surprised if cancer has spread a little in your bones which he said he was not to worried about, cancer is in bottom of spine and one hot spot on sternum and multiple lymph nodes he said he is more worried about getting the cancer in the lymph nodes, finished conversation and then worried, is this normal?
Hello Neil (neil5234)
It sounds to me as if you are doing fine on Triplet Therapy and it's doing the business. The worry about cancer in the lymph nodes is that they are almost like a "motorway system" in your body and once the cancer hits them it can turn up anywhere.
Having been told by your oncologist he's not worried I would be tempted to wait and see what the scan after your triplet therapy finishes and to see what further (if any) action he proposes to take.
Best wishes - Brian.
