I have just had 3rd session of 6 Chemo
psa gonna be reviewed before next one , praying it’s gone down because after first session was over 200
I have metastasis in the right rib cage and lower back and to be frank I am getting very anxious
can anyone offer any advise please ?
Hi
although I had a different chemo, your PSA can go up and down while on it, are you on hormone medication as well ? Your metastasis is nearly the same as mine, except I have it in the pelvis to.
When your course finishes your PSA will drop mine was 893 went to 0.04. Back up now but it was five years ago. So stay positive this journey with medication can go on for a while, just keep watching your temperature, your blood count usually drops when on chemo so important to keep a check.
Stay safe
Joe
