Just wondering!

Hello tillysghost 

That's a good question, but the more important thing is you are doing well under the circumstances and life looks to be good.

The normal rules for intervention are:

* 3 consecutive rises in PSA or

* A rise of +2 whole points.

However every oncology department looks at things in a different light. I had rising PSA's of 1.63 and then 3.86 we agreed to do nothing until I had reached 10 - my next one was 27.5!!

I am not neither worried or concerned, currently.  

and that's just how i feel as my team are looking after me. I feel you have the right attitude as worry and anxiety are not good.

Best wishes - Brian.

Hi tillysghost that is quite some journey and should give encouragement and inspiration to any newly diagnosed Advanced PCa folk.  Staying positive is such a big part of this journey.

Hi David,

my ride nowhere near as bumpy as yours.

  Worked through most of my chemo, taking two days off +wkend after each of the six courses and six blasts of the old radio one treatment. 

   Worked whilst on Enzlutamide ,  when it  was halted  due to the heart issue the world was a brighter place.

Retired just before heart issue, to spend more time with family. now wonder where the day has gone, happily.

Like you loss of sensation in toes is the strange after effect of the professional poisoners.

 Have a few niggles but staying  the upward side of the slope helps.

Hi Brian,

 I thought of messaging you directly because, I thought it would be you answering.

   Thank you

 Well I have had two minuscule rises ( but no where near your first figure, as stated earlier, my numbers are incredibly low.)

But it's nice, to have an idea when the nurses are going to say we are booking you in for a chat.

 Thanks again, your work is greatly appreciated by many.
