It is good to see that his PSA has dropped so quickly, hopefully it will continue to fall even lower. If you can let us know which hormones he has been prescribed, there are plenty of people here that can help with advice on side effects etc.

Hello hunny bunny.

It might help to read this. My husband, PSA 25, 61 years old, Gleason 10. Spread to bones in hip, spine and to lymph nodes. Diagnosed Dec 2010. Still doing well, yes, PSA now on the rise but we never expected to have nearly four years of a reasonable life before the ante is upped (as it might be soon). Life is good right now, we live very much for the day, I don't look too far ahead but in many ways, we enjoy life more now than before. I guess it's human nature, but the illness has made us more considerate towards each other and we don't moan very much about anything.

The fact that the PSA has tumbled quickly is an excellent sign, it can mean that he could do very well on his treatment.

Lots of love

Allison

Hi Honey Bunny,

Welcome to our club, i notice that you are in notts so i guess you are being treated at Kings Mill or City hospital.

My only advice get a good onco and research the treatments available. There is lots of research coming out of America that early intervention with Chemo works well. Many of the treatments are pretty tough on the side effects and pushing for them while still in good health is my main consideration.

If you fancy a chat anytime just drop me a message i am in Newark.

Best wishes
