well predicted LynEre on 15/08/2018 -

i saw the urologist today to discuss my latest psa and the news was fantastic as follows:-

my psa has reduced from 8.7 to less than 0.2 since my latest treatment started on 15may2018.

my decapeptyl(3MG) injections will now be given every 12 weeks (instead of every 4 weeks) and my psa will be checked every 6 months -

many thanks to those who gave me encouragement(even if in thought only) and as usual i always welcome comments.

really good results, you may even find you can come off the hormones if the psa stabilises.

I have just been informed by my doctor that I should have had decapeptyl injections at the higher dose in september and october -

I had been told by the urology nurse that I was going on 3 monthly after my last injection on 16august.

I am going to get a 3-monthly injection at 1155 today.

my next psa check is due in February 2019.

I am really concerned that by missing the monthly ones in september and october my progress may be impeded.

any comments would be welcome

Sorry can't answer that but hopefully as your psa had gone down it wont cause any problems, good luck with next PSA test.

Well that's excellent so unless the injections are causing other problems, I assume you would not wish to change unless advised by your oncologist to do so.

'Less than' 0.1 means it's below what they can detect which is a good sign.  All the best, Peter
