Would just like to share our good news. My husbands PSA test has just come back with a reading of 0.05 being diagnosed with advanced PC last January with spread to the bones and a reading of 528 to say we are over the moon is an under statement. I know there may be a time when we will maybe not get good news but for now I’m treasuring the moment. January last year we didn’t know what was ahead of us and simply nothing about PC but because of this forum and the wonderful brave people who have shared their experiences it has helped us through this journey.We take each day at a time and we are so thankful for each and every one of them. So for those who are just starting try not to be afraid pray hard and stay strong.
Great news! :-)
Many congratulations.
He was diagnosed January 2018 with his symptoms and PSA results we knew it was going to be bad news. He was put on 3 monthly hormone injections and started chemo after his 2nd injection 16 April.His PSA continued to fall from the start of his treatment.He will be on the injections for life and takes a 50mg Bicalutamide tablet every morning.Hope everything goes well for you and you receive good news.
Thanks for that encouragement Dolly. I had a PSA test this morning 12 weeks after finishing RT and have an appointment with the oncologist next Monday. I won't get the result until Thursday so a few days of uncertainty before it comes, but the last one just 1 week after RT was 0.1 so I'm confident that the news will be good.
I’m sure it will be fine. Can your oncologist secretary not give you the result. My husband got his taken on Friday morning I phonedthe secretary and asked her could she phone the results to me which she did.
Yes, it was 3.1 from 7.4 last July. 4 months after radiation. Hope the next one in 3 months is even lower.
