Hi everyone,
It has been a while since I last posted on this forum but I occasionally drop in to have a look and familiarise myself with current posts. I thought it was time to share what might be considered good news for those families who have been recently affected by this horrible and indiscriminate disease. I was diagnosed on 9th March 2020 with stage 4 Prostate cancer which had spread to my bones in various locations, lung & lymph nodes. I was prescribed Abiraterone + Prednisolone along with 12 weekly Prostap3 hormone injections, which I am still on to this day. My PSA dropped to less than 0.1 (undetectable) and has been the same since mid June 2020. I had a meeting with my consultant last week and she is delighted with my continued results, so if she is happy, I am certainly happy.
What I`m actually saying to anyone who has been recently diagnosed with PC or even anyone on active treatment, please do not give up hope!! I am 6 years down the line which I didn`t think I would get, being positive does help.
I wish you & your families all the best on your difficult journey ahead. Stay strong & take care.

Good Evening Tom (HarleyD )
Cracking post and thank you for returning to give hope and encouragement to other members of our little band of brothers (and sisters).
I know we all have to jump through hoops and ring bells to get to where you are but in the end it's worth it.
I wish you many more years with an undetectable PSA - please do keep coming back every 6 years to share your good news.
Kind regards - Brian.
