Hi everyone,
Quick brief on the situation:
BW initial PSA 115, full pelvic RT, Zoladex and Abiraterone for three years. Now taking a break from meds. Last Zoladex mid December-. New blood test roughly 3 months later, so HT leaving his body around end of March this year.
He started his HT early so scans didn’t show any Metastatic spread, though two consultants said highly probable and masked by HT.
This blood test is showing PSA exactly the same, but the Liver function is showing serum Alkaline Phosphatase ( ALP) has shot up by 133 points. To 178. Obviously to me this is saying it’s in BW’s bones (hopefully not liver) and it’s now starting to show itself since HT has stopped, maybe? Hopefully I’m over thinking . He’s taken Calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and vit C through this whole experience, so it’s not a lack of those.
We’ve long accepted that this is what it is and we’ve been prepared for it, even though there’s been no real evidence, just statistics.
So, what I’m after is any information you have in ALP scores and metastatic spread? From the T4’s please or has anyone ever had a big ALP jump with it going down again and not being anything bad, just a blip.
He’s booked in for another blood test in two weeks to double check it. Also it feels very mysterious that the PSA is the same and last time.

My PSA doubled to 738 & the ALP doubled too.
