Change from local to advanced

PSA from yesterday is now 4.4. That is a rapidly accelerating doubling rate. I suppose it makes no difference to treatment having only just started Abi today but it is not good is it? I am starting to feel a lot less worried as the possible outcomes are homing in to one thing! BTW Testerone <o.1 nmol/L :(

I go to Freeman Hospital this afternoon for my first of 5 SABR treatments. This will be 50 Grays compared to the 2/3 Gray I had for the 37 tomotherapy sessions. My Onco says "I am confident that the SABR will be effective for the disease in the right ilium and that the Abiraterone will continue to be effective on the prostate and SV. Given the result of your PSMA PET CT i do not believe you have anything else to worry about.

I saw the scan for the first time and it is ~6.1cm at it's longest and on my RH hip. It all looked white on the scan but the Dr said it was "diffuse with a hot spot" that I could not differentiate. A radiotherapy Dr showed me the scan not my Onco.

My other worry is that my PSA has jumped to 6.13 on 3rd September from 3.18 on 9th July. I emailed him and said I was concerned about this but I suppose we need to see how effective the SABR is. He didn't reply...........?
