Hi all

Just read LH's PSA test taken on Tuesday (was counting the minutes until it became available on the portal). It is now 10.7 down from 57 when this all started. He started Bicalitamide on 11th September and had first injection of Decapeptyl on 25th September. I guess his PSA may have even risen further from 57 in June until HT started in September.

Does this sound like a reasonable rate of decrease in the timeframe? I am just relieved it has decreased but thought I would ask

Many thanks

Hi Dogs4me , think this is a bit of a ‘how long is a piece of string’. Firstly, if the last PSA was 57 in June, what was it at the start of HT on 11 September? Do you have any other PSA reading to indicate the rate it was rising? Without this info it is impossible to say but the drop from 57 to 10 isn’t bad and to me indicates that the HT is working. Hopefully it will continue this downward trend for some time.

Best wishes, David

Thanks David

No no other PSA readings taken so I do suspect that it may well have been higher than 57 by the time treatment started. But I guess at least it is heading in the right direction.....
