Hi All.

Hope you are all okay.

I have just been reading that sometimes if psa is now

in the zeros(0.8) There is such a thing called intermittent treatment breaks.

I have just started 3 monthly Prostrap injection and also take 2 Abiraterone each morning along with a steroid Prednisolone 5mg.

Was diagnosed in May 23. Stage 4 ( psa nearly 4.000).

It would be great to take a break and be closely monitored.Be a full man again for a few months.

Regards

Arnie.

Hello Armie . You are correct that for some men intermittent hormone therapy is a possibility if they have demonstrated a sustained negligible PSA and there is no radiographic evidence of cancer. I am not sure that 0.8 is classified as negligible but you would need to check this out with the experts.

Here is an informative video on the subject.

Hi Alwayshope.

Hope you are feeling well.

Thanks for your reply.

You are definitely right on this thank you.

I would need to speak further with my consultant and oncologist.

Yeah it would be a dream come true but also I would need to take a risk if going ahead. It would be always in the back of my mind that I would be upsetting the balance .

I think therefore I’m going to leave things the way they are.

Just dream thinking.

Keep fighting every one as one day they will find a cure for us all.

Thanks

Arnie.
