Brilliant news Bazza ... just bloody brilliant. You owe me £5 x

Sir Geoff Boycott?

Sixfoottwo, I understand that you are new and cannot possibly know everyone's histories but believe me, Bazza's fear is deep and real. You will see us oldies telling people to man up sometimes but for anyone suffering extreme distress we are hopefully more understanding!

Point taken, but why only a 50% drop after 2 1/2 months on Zoladex. I would have thought starting at a microscopically low number such as 0.26, it would have fallen to undetectable. Am perplexed - or are gradual reductions over several months normal?

Baz, the hormone is starving the cancer not blasting it into space. Halving and halving again - the forum has seen many others get this response; it takes time for the PSA to drop as the cancer cells find insufficient food/energy to replicate. Don't forget that you are starting HT at a point that many zoladex patients have to wait months if not years to achieve.

Bazza,

I will be more blunt than Lyn, yesterday you were sure that the PSA was going up, be blo*dy grateful that it has HALVED.

What is the point of questioning wonderful news I repeat your PSA has Halved in less than 3 months and if that's not good news then I don't know what is.

Please, please accept what everyone else is saying and put your worries behind you and enjoy the many many PCa free years you have left.

Brazza:

Congratulations!

I can so easily relate to your "catastrophizing" the future. It's our nature. It's no more rational than assuming that "everything will be all right", as people who care keep reminding us. It simply is what it is. Your test was good news. As well as you can, try to accept what is real and don't make the mistake of thinking "They must have missed something".

Best,

Lawrence

"We have nothing to fear but fear itself". That was supposed to be cheering when Roosevelt said it but he was only talking about the world wide depression. What's money compared to life. Worry wears us down and makes everything that much harder. Easy to say, like people do, "Oh you'll be fine" but that's said for their benefit not ours.

Glad your results were good. We are a long way from that at present.

I'm the one doing the worrying. The other half is currently fast asleep, as he does most nights, and I'm the one who has to pretend I'm not really fretting.

But then, he hasn't read anything about PC unless I've shoved it under his nose and said "read it" !

Celebrate your current life, enjoy it. Best Wishes Sandra

PS Looked that quote up on the net. Roosevelt pinched it from Francis Bacon and I pinched it from Roosevelt.

I really ought to get out more!
