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 ( 

    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.

  • Thanks Brian. That's mainly why I posted it, I know we are all different but treatment isn't always as bad as some guys think. 

    Good luck to You too
