Got my second PSA results since starting treatment coming with phone call from consultant , T4 with bone met 

31 initially to 0.4 

This time ?

Some crazy sweating and even more crazy cramps in buttocks and legs ,but a ok .

  1. Radiotherapy planning appointment 31october 
    1. I am 6 months into hormone therapy, just had my planning session for radiotherapy, the last PSA I had was back at the beginning of April, which showed my PSA level had gone from 3 to 6, my hormone treatment said I would get my PSA level checked 3 months only to be told now that it won't be checked until after my radiotherapy which starts in two weeks. 
  • Hello 

    Well that some reduction in your PSA so things are going well. 

    At this point all I can say is I had the hot sweats from HT and they have been cured by taking Sage Tablets, (They don't work for everyone!!)

    Radiotherapy is easy if you follow the instructions!!

    Best of luck and please keep us in the loop,

    Best wishes - Brian.
