Hi all,i was formerly johnt on old forum,had problems changing over so just rejoined as speedy. I am going for scans shortly as my psa has gradually risen to 3.8 recently. Onco is thinking about Abby or Enzalutimide or even more Chemo. Any advice would be appreciated

I am sure that you have read about the Aby/Enz scenario, which is something to discuss with him.

If not....let us know....people on here will be able to advise/inform you.

All the best

Hi John,

That is a marvellous result

That's you and Mal reporting the same good news about lymph nodes in recent weeks.

For those who live in fear of 'spread to lymph' (and i'm one of them) you give us all hope for the future,

I bet you were dancing when you got the news!


All the best,

George

Hi Speedy/John

Well my goodness that is a good result. As George says it gives hope to us with spread to lymph nodes. Although you have had the rise in psa you have still got quite a few options.

Well done.

Saw onco today, p.s.a 7.6, only up 1.3 since last time so no change of treatment just now. Talked about a trial involving boosting my immune system. Go back in January and we will take it from there.
