Ok, first blood work, 3 weeks after the last chemo of ARASENS protocol

PSA is 0.39, it was 70 at diagnosis and 15 after 4-5 weeks (when I have started ARASENS)

Testosterone 0.33 nmol/L

well, that's it!

update to my update, psa test today 28 March, it went from 0.39 almost two months ago to 0.07 today….seems good, since from after the 5th to after the 6th chemo it went from 0.40 to 0.39 or something like that I did not think it could still go down so much

exactly 6 months after I started the triplet per ARASENS trial (my PSA was 15) and 7 months and 6 days after my diagnosis (and PSA was 70)
