Hello Admiral
Any reduction in your PSA is a plus - it depends on how long you have been on HT for, but it's going DOWN and therefore the HT is working.

Hi Admiral. You say ""chose not to have op as they can’t give me hormone therapy or rt or chemo"". Can you claify please - did you turn down the option of RALP op BECAUSE you cannot have any other treatment ?? Also is there a reason that you are aware of that your PSA has gone down?? It would seem that PSA results can vary from time to time. eg I believe a high level of excercise before a blood test can raise the level. Could that be a reason for your first higher level?
I’ve had testicular cancer twice loads of radiotherapy and chemo as it was dogtooth therapy cannot have it again so if I have the op and they don’t get all the cells out they don’t know how to deal with it I had 18 cores 14 are cancer so I’m hopeing as they have stopped testerone injections and I have none in me it will become dormant
