Post Brachytherapy PSA

I'm thinking this is quite good news. Jim had HDR Brachytherapy last October. Unable to do pelvic radiation nor any lymph nodes nor his suspicious bone spot. He is considered Oligometastatic. Despite limited RT, after six months of PSA <0.04, this month he is down to <0.02. He of course still on his 3 month Lupron, 1000mg Zytiga and 5mg prednisone. Thank you again for listening.

He got his first shot of Lupron Jan 2021. Started Abiraterone Mar 2021. Took a while to get this low. I thought after six months at <0.04, that was his Nadir. Don't know if .02 drop actually makes a difference, but it is "feels" good mentally.Thank you
