Having been transferred from urology to oncology( without explanation ) , my husband was fearing the worst. About three months ago the oncologist told him that his PSA had almost doubled in six months and that the tumour on his lungs had increased in size plus the lung nodules had increased in number.
Anyway, she organised a bone scan and full blood test. He was taking bicalutamide daily plus three monthly prostap injections, a tough regime. She said that maybe she would look at changing his treatment once the results were in
So last Thursday we went along to oncology and to our delight and surprise no change in PSA, Stil 1.3 and no hot spots on his bone scan.
We were amazed as he was feeling pretty awful with fatigue and coughing at night plus lots of sleepless nights worrying about the possibility of chemotherapy.
So, onwards and upwards! Still hating the hormone treatment but it is actually working.
Now to plan the celebration for our 45th anniversary, a posh hotel , good food and we will raise a few glasses to the future which is looking bright
