My PSA has been on a slow rise since Feb my Tulsa MO wants to start zytiga soon.
My MO at MD Anderson in Houston wants to wait till PSA reaches 2.0; I probably need to write him a letter and let him know PSA is trending up. I send him a sample every month or so since 2016 and the nurse emails back and says just keep watching it.
Side effects from medicines are not fun, but so far I am doing better than expected my old MO said I am on top of every curve for my dx.
I'm going to chiropractor tomorrow for back pain, I moved a desk out of my home office.
