My husbands PSA finally dropped by ~50% within 2 weeks!!!!! It’s at 111.8 right now! He had a good initial response to hormone treatment, then lingered for almost 2 months with only slight decreases. In mid December, Zytiga was added and that seems to have really made a big difference. He had to stop taking Zytiga yesterday because his ALT was getting very high, but we hope to restart it next week.

I was so surprised that I ask them to double check that they were looking at the right patient record!!! First good news we’ve gotten for a while. God is good.

My PSA dropped 90% in first 6 weeks on Luprine after climbing 20% in 6 weeks after prostatectomy. Glad to see he is having positive results to his hormone treatments now.
