Congratulations! Being it's only been two months I bet his psa will continue to drop. The best part of it all is that it's working!

Great start. About like my start. Lupron alone dropped my fast rising PSA from 63 to 6.4 in two months. With chemo added dropped 25 % per cycle for first 3 then up and added Xtandi and back to 25% drop per cycle til #7. 25% drop doesn't amount to much once you get to 0.20 and below. Finally leveled out at 0.130+-0,010. Still on Xtandi, but only half dose (80 mg) daily.

Will do. Almost didnā€™t want to write this

Because thereā€™s so many men That are not doing well with medicine and it truly breaks my heart but I was so excited that I couldnā€™t contain myself not thinking of the future just thinking We got good results right now

I am 4 months in with lupron, zytiga and predisone. My numbers parallel yours in the first two months, at 4 mos T is <.5 & PSA 2.8 hoping for it to go lower. We both have reason to celebrate. May it continue for both of us and all of our brothers in this fight. CheetsšŸøšŸøšŸ¤

Thank you. I read your post I hope that the Dr will find something that will work for your hubby. I I said before I almost didnā€™t write it because so many people are having such a hard time the medicine just doesnā€™t seem to be working for their hubby Weā€™ve only been on this journey this damn journey since April I hate it and Iā€™m sure you hate it toošŸ˜” weā€™re supposed to grow old together and now we donā€™t know whatā€™s going to happen you and your husband will be in my prayers
