LH went for his second decapeptyl injection today and the nurse asked when his last PSA test was and he said he didn't know 
She looked on his record and said it was June; this was when his journey started and was referred to the hospital, but he had one at the hospital in late October when it had fell from 57 (or higher if it had increased between June and September) to 10.1. So she did another one.
For some reason this has sent me into free fall. I always get extremely anxious waiting for results and this close to Christmas with loads to do I am like a rabbit in the headlights. I am so worrie
the PSA will have stayed the same or worse increased. And if we get the results just before Christmas there will be nobody to talk to until after the holidays .
Please someone calm me down with the common sense this board is so brilliant at if I am over reacting or tell me what happens next if my worse fears are realised.
Thank you so much for listening.

Hello Karen (Dogs4me )
June 25 - PSA 57: Treatment starts and October - PSA 10.1. I would anticipate the Decapeptyl is doing it's job and the PSA this time will be lower than 10.1. You should have nothing to worry about and you will be able to enjoy Christmas and the New Year.
If anxiety (scananxiety - I've made that up!) is worrying you just give the Support line a call on 0808 808 00 00 (8am to 8pm 7 days a week) or if you have a "Maggie's" at your hospital call in there for a brew and a chat.
I am sure LH will be fine - and as a Community we will be around over Christmas and New year if you need to chat/vent or just tell us you have had an amazing time.
Best wishes - Brian.
