What a slog you have had Steve, about time you had some good news.

Steve,

we will be able to compare notes, I've been given the 'nod' as well and will be missing my late August jab.

I'm not expecting miracles but it will be good to see what the non HT world looks like once more!

Even if it is a paler reflection of original life it will be worth the visit :)

How often will you be getting blood tests out of interest?

Cutting the rope of security does have it's worries, I'm guessing not much will happen for six months or so on the PSA front but I'll be getting tested before then to make sure...

All the best

Steve,

A month to go , what a wonderful thought for you . Enjoy the freedom from the Zoladex and all its horrors. But it seems to have worked for you and that's what it's all about.

Hi,

Thanks everyone for your kind responses to our good news, really looking forward to the arrival of our new grandchild next March.

Today has been a nervous day. I went to hospital to have my final PSA test before finishing my hormone treatment on the 24th of this month. I hope it doesn't go up as it has in the last two tests, even though it was only by a small amount.

I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed!

Have a good weekend.

Steve

Hi,

Just managed to get my PSA results from the test done on Friday.

They've gone up again to 0.070, only a small figure, but the third rise since last December.

In December my PSA was 0.027, in April it was 0.043 and in June it was 0.054 and now 0.070.

I'm still on hormone treatment (Zoladex) until next Wednesday.

Should I be concerned by the trend ?

Steve
