My Jeff had labs Monday and his 2nd infusion of carboplatin/cabazitaxel Tuesday.
Labs proved disappointing. Jeff’s PSA is up from 76.5 to 101.
Jeff’s oncologist said “lets not worry yet”. Jeff is scheduled for additional labs and another PET scan starting mid December. Hopefully by then the chemo is working its magic.
I feel like we’ve been in limbo the last 3 weeks and still feel that way. We had so hoped his PSA would have dropped, even a little, for a bit of peace of mind.
Jeff is actually still feeling pretty good and has managed to go to the gym a few times. He amazes me at every turn.
We “fired” his oncologist, which proved to be a huge, stressful, ongoing fiasco, but that was entirely resolved at his appointment on Monday. I’ll refrain from detailing all the drama, but will say we were pleased with the final outcome.
