I think it's triplet therapy:

Hi Neil,

Did you mean your PSA was 2000 in May? I had to do a double take as at first I read it that you were diagnosed in May, 2000! That’s a long time ago. That’s maybe why nobody has responded?

Derek, Neil's PSA was 1500 in April this year. Presumably it got higher.

Neil, I have no idea what triple therapy is and therefore cannot comment on it or the rise in your PSA during treatment?

However, I have followed your story so far and I do care about you. How is the treatment affecting you mate? Are you coping?

yes psa 2000 in may, down to 40 after 2 months now 44, thats after 2 sessions of chemo and triplet therapy, all other bloods are normal, they dont seem worried about slight rise.

You can get what they call PSA bounces during chemo,I had similar.
