A little recap

my husband was diagnosed in may 2021 was given degrilax right away, he then had chemotherapy he also has had bicultamide had radiotherapy on his hip and has been on enzalutamide since may 2024 but his psa has never gone below 4, this month it was over 8, just had a telephone conversation with oncologist who has now ordered more scans and will see us face to face when all results are in, it’s hard not to worry I wonder what is next 

hope everyone is well

Yes

Apparently it's immunotherapy treatment there's no guarantee that it will work and for the first month I will have to travel to London (300 mile round trip)every week then every 2 weeks for good knows how long,but you have to give these things a try.

Hi Ann

I did the reverse route enzalutamide then chemo(Docetaxel) as you probably know.

Next for me is a clinical phase 3 trial at the Royal Marsden in London but if I hadn't explored that route it would have been cabizitaxel down the NHS route,I may still be given it if I'm not chosen for the experimental arm of the trial.

Hope this helps all the best Phil
