PSA DROP AFTER 2nd FIRMIGON JAB

3 weeks after the first Firmigon jab my PSA dropped from 5 to 0.4

6 weeks later after the 2nd Firmigon jab, it only dropped a tiny amount to .0.34

Testosterone dropped after the 1st jab from 13 to 0.4 and to 0.3 after the 2nd jab.

Should I be concerned that the PSA has not gone to undetectible?

My PSA doubling has been 5 weeks.

I am only on Firmigon, No 2nd generation drug

All best wishes and good health to you.

Thank you so much for your opinion.

Chris

It might go down further. Mine did something similar. In the beginning, it was fast dropping and then slowly going down. I have heard( I might be wrong though) that a slow drop is better but with this disease , you never know what is actually happening. Good luck.

TA in your opinion re the 2nd PSA result is the same as the 1st. Is this a concern?
