3 month testing after chemo

Husband finished chemo end of feb and has just gotten his test results ! It has been nerve racking to say the least! So at end of chemo 6.9 and now three months after the last psa test he’s 7.1. He dropped from 4300 at the time of diagnosis . It was a different lab and that may make the difference. Testerone 3.5. Should we be expecting more of a drop on psa? Thanks for all of your support! Alk Phos continues to drop too!

Sounds like he had a great response. The difference between the two PSA tests is insignificant. I would check it again in a month and see what it's doing. It's been stable over the last 3 months, hope it continues for you.

That sounds good. Would continue to keep a close eye on things but sounds good for the moment. Mel.
