My LH has just had 4th cycle of chemotherapy.He is tolerating it very well now that the dose has been reduced from 80% to 70%.
Hormone therapy was changed from Degaralix to Prostap almost 3 months ago.
Psa has dropped from 4,434 down to 2.3 today.
We have an Oncologist appt next week. We are cautiously optimistic. We hope the 70% dosage of chemo will be as effective.
LH feels well in himself,only having fatigue during 2nd week of each cycle.
Sending everyone all the very best if good wishes .

Hugs back Sue. For people who are starting chemotherapy you have provided valuable information that the experts can tailor the dose depending on the side effects but will do what they can to ensure that you complete the course.
Let us know what the oncologist says next week.
