Hi all,
3rd cycle of Chemo a little later on today to help shrink everything down in preparation for RT later in the Year. All has gone pretty well so far, a few minor side effects here and there, but other than that all good, no work days missed and workouts/walks as regular as ever. PSA is down from 44 to 0.454 in 15 weeks since HT started (chemo started 6 weeks ago), so, very happy with that. Hoping the side effects don't build too much from last cycle but have the weekend off as a cushion and hopefully be back to work as normal Monday.
onwards and downwards! (psa that is, haha)
Enjoy your weekend
All the best
Jay
Hi Jay, that’s a great post and pleased to hear that you are progressing well on chemo. I think the chemo will be killing the cancer cells as much as shrinking the tumour, so you are well on the way.
Best wishes, David
