Fenbendazole Results

[arete1105]

A short history of my labs:

12/2019: T=212, PSA=6.3

1/9 Lupron shot

2/6: T=51, PSA=6.3

3/1 I started Fenbendazole, 3 days on, 4 days off, 1/4 teaspoon each dose.

3/20: T=14, PSA=1.9

Isn't it possible the PSA drop is all attributable to the Lupron kicking in?

[arete1105 in reply to George71]

It could be, will see next labs in 30 days.

This is the trending from the last Lupron shot:

3/25 3.9 T- 295 Lupron

5/28 1.6, T-13

6/20 .6, 13

8/29- .6, T-13

10/17 .6, T=27

This is my issue with these things. Guys take ADT alongside something else like supplements, radiation, etc and they think it’s the other stuff that brought down the psa but in my opnion it’s the ADT. this is how I feel about this but ofcourse I could be TOTALLY wrong but it’s just my opinion from reading about other folks experiences

Here is my thinking: 12/12- T=212, PSA=6.3

1/9 Lupron shot

2/6: T=51, PSA=6.3

As you can see after the Lupron shot while T came down from 212 to 51, the PSA didn't move. That is when the Oncologist said I must be Castration Resistant and she offered me the 2 drugs at the next level. I didn't want those drugs and that is when I was turned on to Fenbendazole and we agreed to give it a trial. I would have though that the Lupron shot should have had some decrease in the PSA right after that shot. This is my current thinking. We will see. Labs are scheduled every 30 days. The real test would be if the tumors are gone based on scans.

I hope and I wish you the best of luck. Please keep us informed. Thank you

How are your PSA levels since the last time you posted? Thanks

[arete1105 in reply to dhccpa]

PSA- 1.2, T 14.

But the issue is not the numbers, but the presence of cancer. You can get your numbers down w/o Fenbendazole. I had a MRI on 7/23 to determine whether my pain in the lumbar area was muscular, from cancer, or disc issues. I haven't heard the results yet. That will tell me the status of cancer.

[dhccpa in reply to arete1105]

Are you still on fenben? Scans may be the only way to see what's working, unless a new biopsy is done.

[arete1105 in reply to dhccpa]

I am on Hormone therapy as well as Fenbendazole. (3 days on 4 days off)

[arete1105 in reply to dhccpa]

I finally got the MRI results today- the Dr. said the mets were of subcentimeter size (little dots) and didn't warrant radiation. As far as I can tell from looking through the previous reports is the mets haven't grown in size and are too little in size to do anything except the Hormone treatment. It is hard to say what is working/not working because I take/do several things outside the box.

Are your issues disc-related? If so, how are you managing pain?

[arete1105 in reply to _Kristina]

I do have L4-S1 disc issue, but it is minor and usually no problem.

I also use a FIR heating pad- main benefit is anti inflammatory. BTW since the FIR pad I stopped taking Terazosin- last used 13 months ago. I can pee pretty normally now.
