So, after a week of having a nephrostomy bag, my creatinine levels have plummeted from 55 to 12.2, just a little over the French normal range of a high of 11.7. Of course, I still have serious issues with incontinence cause caused by cancer involvement at the site of my original,prostatectomy but me and Tena can deal with that. I’m hopeful that on 18th, my surgeon will be confident to stent my right kidney and remove the need for my bag.
meanwhile, I’m still on Prostap injections, 11.25mg dose every six weeks which I’ve been on for 5 years now. With a rising PSA (120 - the French don’t hold much truck with PSA and consider it a cause of too much anxiety at this stage) and no other treatments, is there a real need to continue Prostap or should I discontinue. I know I am now in the final kind of chapter of this disease and wondered what the school of thought might be. I do not trust the oncologist here. In fact, I hate her.
