Hi Chris, looks like your in same pathway as myself and can’t belive it’s six months since last post. Likewise enzo worked for a while but PSA continued to rise. Did wonder when further action would be taken and it did after PSA rose to over 140 and mets spread. Just finished 7/10 of chemo and found it wee bit harder than last time with tiredness around session 5 but I continue to work and enjoy myself. Good luck with your sessions and hope it goes well!

Hi Steven - good to hear from you again but sorry you too are back on chemo - assuming you are on docetaxel again? Pleased you are coping well and your PSA is going down (mine was 40 on Xmas Eve) - certainly I had an easy time of it when I had my first chemo nearly two and a half years ago now - hoping for the same experience this time but prepared for it to be harder, particularly the extra sessions.  At least I am retired (just about to turn 72) so can have the odd nap  - must be difficult for you working plus the added infection risk.  Have to say our hearts sank somewhat at our Xmas Eve news - dust off the thermometer, blood tests and prepare for hair loss again, plus the sheer tedium of the whole thing - but will just have to take one session at a time and make the most of our time in between doing as much as we can.  I still feel really well, no bone pain, which is the most important thing.

All the best to you and your family for 2019 - keep in touch and let me know how you get on.

Best wishes - Chris

Hi chris,

Yes it is strange dusting off the old equipment again. I found I was a bit more relaxed about it this time, but not sure that’s a good thing?

All the best for 2019

Steven
