Great news Si, your progress remains awe inspiring. Not sure about the long term plan it has a logic to it but is it clinical sound? I am no expert but we have chatted about this before. I suppose my preference is to stay with what is working but I admire your guts and the fact you can access enzo gets over some of the problems others have experienced, so why not go for it now. It's good and glad to see you posting here again with some good news!

Hello again Si,

I like your thinking! You're in full control of your strategy.

Listen to your body, It let's you know when to change treatment, I'm sure of that.
Your results really are stunning, and this is a big turn around from the first time we met in London.

Speaking of which, looking forward to seeing you and Vanessa again in December.


All the best,


George

Si, whatever you do, you are blazing a trail for those who will tread this path after. And having seen the photos of you on FB finishing the triathlon this weekend for charity, you are looking mighty great my friend. Congratulations xxx

But the photos look good and who wouldn't be impressed at the idea of our very own Si holding hands with the Brownlees?

Hi Paul, just spotted your question "why not go for it now ?"

The main reason being Christmas approaching and everything i do is based around my three lovely girls. not knowing how these two drugs will react together means i will not risk ruining Christmas.

i have already had approval from BUPA for both of the drugs together, so full steam ahead for January.

If it all goes horribly wrong i think Jamie will be at the Mill again this year so you can ask him why http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif

Also working on him to come on the forum once a month for an hour for a Q&A not sure how it would work but once he agrees then i will ask PCAUK if we can do it

See you soon mate

Si

PS, see you at Euston again

Great idea SI re Q&A. That's what the group chat should be about! Let,s use the technology!

Paul I think that is a bit cheeky saying Si is clinically unsound, mad as a March hare yes, oops sorry that wasn't what you said.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif

I am going to have to check out these pics on FB, or is Lyn doing a wind up.

See you in the chat room Guys.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif

About 6 weeks ago we put a posting on Facebook of my scans that are on this thread encouraging people to have a PSA test.

Well last night Vanessa received a message from a medical secretary for the oncologists at a specialist cancer hospital in oxford asking if they could use these for awareness, no problem said i but below is part of her email;

 

"I have found those scans fascinating! I work at the Churchill hospital in Oxford which is a specialist cancer and haematology hospital. I'm a medical secretary working with a team of oncologists in Breast cancer and often see progression of the disease spread into the bones but have never seen scan images like this!"

No sh*t Sherlock, really made me feel great http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-cry.gif

Good afternoon Si! Just checking in to see how you're doing and as usual delighted to hear your amazingness is continuing! So pleased things are going well, those are fab results. You and Jamie are certainly a winning team. Great that you can have both treatments too. Wishing you, Ness and the girls a wonderful Xmas. xxx

Time for a quick update,

Bloods are all still good ALP 39, PSA <0.01, Testosterone <0.01.

Bone scan last week was a bit strange, no Dr O'Connor present but he will be reporting on it, instead i had Dr mute and Dr stonewall.

Everything went as normal full scan then a good look round the pelvis as this is the most diseased area, about to go and called back for another scan. Any comments from the doctors as to why, oh no.

Finished that scan and called back to go through again and then a CT scan, still no comment from the doctors there, where is Dr O'Connor when you need him.

Anyway call from Jamie on Friday a very small progression in the pelvis and another area that three doctors could not identify, so there is something, but they don't know what, great.

My guess is it might be my libido trying to find its way back http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-laughing.gif

CT / PET scan in a couple of weeks so i can have a chat and maybe a look at it.

But stay on Abbi till then.

Si

Hi Si

Bloods still indicating in the main that things are still good. Who was the third Doctor? Dr Noidea

Jamie is on the ball so will clarify everything. The old meds are still working mate

I reckon them docs saw your PSA and bone scans and had a discussion along the lines of "I thought this guy had advanced PCA. ...yep he definitely walked in.....is it us or has someone give us the wrong file.....get him back in for another scan, we best find something or were for the high jump"

Lol....see you soon mate

Bri, you said something very similar to me when I had a chat with Si about this on the day.

Si The blood results are brilliant and small progression in one area is better than can normally be expected for a Man with the number and extent of mets you had at diagnosis almost 2 years ago ....I just realised it really is almost 2 years, that does it when we meet at the flyer it must be cancerversary drinks!!

As for the unidentified thing well we could start a whole new conversation on what it might be I think

they have discovered the implant the aliens put in to turn you into Si Superman when they briefly abducted you in January 2013.

see you all soon
