Hi all,
Its been 3 days since my 4th Chemo treatment (Docetaxel) and just over 4 months since starting HT (Prostap) and feeling really good. Getting a few mild symptoms from both treatments but nothing too debilitating and all aspects of life continuing as normal. Working and weight training/walking are a blessing tbh, if I don't do these daily the side effects creep in, prolonged lounging around is a thing of the past but still appreciate the short spells, haha. Treatment is hopefully going well, PSA is down to 0.386 (pretty happy with that), with 2 more cycles of Chemo and a couple of months left until restaging and radiotherapy commences.
All the best moving forward to all
Jay
Hello Jay (Eikcorb)
Well, that's a very positive post. I am so pleased it's going so well for you. A post like yours helps others understand that chemotherapy isn't always as bad as folk think.
Good luck with your next 2 cycles and long may your PSA remain low.
Best wishes - Brian.
