Chemotherapy and PSA

Hi Thomsoa, they do check the psa with the blood test before chemo they should say,  if not ask, my husband's started to drop with HT and chemo.

All the best Sheena 

Hi Sheena 

Thank you hopefully will see it starting to drop thanks for getting back to me he is due for 10 rounds so number 3 next week

Hi Anne (Thomsoa ), normally the PSA will drop but it can spike also in the early rounds, so check with your team.  At the end of the chemo apparently a 50% reduction in PSA is deemed a good result.  HT should have a much faster impact on PSA.  Your team will be monitoring and hopefully will tell you, but ask them if they don’t!

Thanks David yes still getting the hormone injections monthly so hopefully with the chemotherapy will bring the PSA down 

Hi David Kenny had his third Chemo yesterday and doing okay they are changing his Hormone Injections to prosap
