Hi all,
Thought I would give a little update date
Oncol visit just week, Psa now 164 and several Lymph nodes enlarged. Long discussion on where we go next as regards to treatment.
Firstly being put forward to see if they will test for BRCA due to family history & hopefully access to Olaparib. Should now the answer to this by next appointment in June.
Failing that we move to more chemo (cabazitaxel) in mid August, just after 10th anniversary of diagnosis.
Tolerated first chemo very well with very few side effects so as this is a similar type hoping for the same, but fully aware that this may not be the case!
I am aware that the tool box is pretty much empty after that & we have delayed chemo to allow time for another drug to be approved for use by snhs, can't remember the name but she did say it was a radioactive drug so the where, the how by whom will take time to sort out as there is currently no facility available in Scotland for delivery of this? (Will get the name in June)
Other than that all is well, living life to the full.
Steve
