Phil it's great news again and you've achieved an almost 90% PSA reduction over the 3 results.

Enjoy Christmas with renewed hope, as I and many others will too!

What a great start to the new year Phil, your psa has taken a battering whilst on Halda trial and I'm so very pleased for you. 

I look forward to more good news after your scans. This treatment feels like a game changer. Fabulous.

I don’t understand this reliance on PSA. My husband s was very low but the cancer spread to the liver and he died

Jimthecobowner, for the majority of Prostate cancers PSA is directly proportional to the amount of active tumour, so the lower it goes following treatment the better.

Unfortunately some Prostate cancers produce very little or no PSA, it sounds like your husband was unfortunately one of those types. Condolences on your loss.
