PSA today after injection last week

Morning Dafna from not so sunny Greece today.

You will be pleased to know that the PSA usually goes down dramatically soon after taking the tablets and having the implant. Your husband will probably have a blood test fairly soon to check that the hormone therapy is doing it's job. Just keep an eye on him for a few days to make sure he has no reaction to the Zoladex. You are doing great and hope you have gone back to the Spanish lessons.

Take care.

Good Morning Dafna from a dark wet overcast and cold Oldham (nothing changes here!!)

The Prostate Cancer thrives on Testosterone (it's food!). Once the supply of Testosterone is cut off the cancer can't feed grow and move about. The Zoladex will start the process right away - the Bicalutamide tablets are given at the start of treatment to stop "Hormone Flare" when there is a chance that the Testosterone supply could increase.

I am sure his next PSA test will show a dramatic drop in his numbers.

Keep him fit and keep him exercising and more importantly look after yourself too!

Best wishes - Brian.

Thank you Alwayshope. Sometimes, now and then, my heart just froze for a second from fear but then I carry on and dont let it win over us.

Lots of love

Dafna
