Rounds 1 to 3 easy

Round 4 lowered mobility

Round 5 and 6 low days are day 4 to 10

Holiday season in January so looks like I will ask oncologist for a deferral of Round 8 to give me more energy to enjoy a family visit.

PSA now over 500 , still on ADT. LDH over a thousand but hopefully not accelerating.

Best wishes to all of you.

Have you discussed adding carboplatin? It may be especially useful with some genomic changes - if you know that from tumor biopsies.

Have you considered lu-177 treatment?

Yes I read here from others where good results have been achieved for six months. I have not pursued Lu yet. Nearest centre to me is a half day drive so it is definitely accessible. Price wise I am reluctant. Six months is becoming increasing valuable I suppose.

Best wishes to you. If your PSA isn't responding to the treatment it's time to discuss options (see the suggestions from others who replied to you).

Thank you tallguy. My blood transfusion experience was challenging.

"PSA now over 500 , still on ADT. LDH over a thousand but hopefully not accelerating."

What is LDH and what is its significance to the treatment and the progression of the prostate cancer?
