Brother's numbers since ADT plus Orchiectomey since diagnosed in February

[Sparlingo]

Hi folks. I've been reading daily posts here since February when my brother was diagnosed with metastatic PC in February after a reading of 367.8 PSA. Thanks for all the good information! Cancer is in his skull, ribs, lymth nodes, and spine. He had one ADT injection right away and opted for an Orchiectomey in May along with Abiraterone. He just had his first Chemo treatment (Docetaxel) on October 1st and the numbers I have posted were before first Chemo. He will be going for Chemo for six treatments. His PSA has gone from 367.8 to 1.18 and his most recent ALP is at 152 from a high of 298. Could anyone please comment on the blood test numbers I posted to help me understand them? I have included only items that seem to have a trend or are the most relevant.

It's good news! He is responding well to the triplet therapy.

Hi Tall_Allen. I read where ALP, not PSA, is the best predicter of overall survival for men with PC. I think the focus is on the ALP number after treatment. Could you comment on my brother's ALP numbers?

[Tall_Allen in reply to Sparlingo]

ALP is produced by liver and by bone. It often increases after chemo, and is headed in the right direction.

Great News............. You're a good bro..... now can you tell us a bit about his bio? Age, Location,

where being treated, doctor(s) name(s) and etc...... All info in his bio from you or your bro is voluntary. If you respond add/create a bio for him..... Info is helpful for him and for us.

When He gets good enough to take a punch...... A good fight between you two (as you did when you were kids) would be called for(real brotherly love)..... God Bless you all.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
