Well, I just had my 6th Docetaxel treatment. So let me update my other post about my situation.

Started Chemo March 16th.

July 6th, 2020 6.95 ng/ml

Jun 16, 2020 6.18 ng/mL

May 21, 2020 5.02 ng/mL

Apr 30, 2020 4.48 ng/mL

Apr 09, 2020 4.25 ng/mL

Mar 16, 2020 3.04 ng/mL

So my PSA just keeps its steady rise. ONC says we need a Bone Scan and MRI to see where we are. May change me to Cabazitaxel. He is also going to request my initial biopsy for a test to determine if I would be eligible for any other treatments. (Thanks Tall Allen. It was exactly what you said he would ask so I was prepared.)

I also got my MSP now in Canada so I will be changing to a Doctor here and not have to do quarantine again. Any advice on Canadian BC care? They are referring me to the BC Cancer facility.

Try to get a biopsy of metastases too if possible. They sometimes show changes.
