We just left the Oncologist office and not good news. PSA is still climbing. It went from 64 to 74 in 6 weeks. Hubby has been through XTANDI, Chemo, targeted radiation, RADIUM 223. Been on Eligard for 7 years. Oncologist would like him to go in a clinical trial at Princess Margaret hospital in Toronto, Ontario, before her last option of Chemotherapy again. Has anyone had good results from trials?
You're thoughts and or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Which trial?
This we don't know yet. We just had the appointment this afternoon and this is her recommendation since she wants to keep his 2nd round of Chemo in her back pocket. She said these are the only two options left. Let me say this though, this is the best my husband, Mel has felt in the past 2 years, so we were surprised his PSA is still going up. He has a bone and CT scan scheduled next week. He will have his PSA checked again in 3 weeks.
Oncologist is putting Ina request to Princess Margaret hospital for Mel to be on the list when the next trial is available.
Let me know.
I will be sure to let you know. Both my husband and I along with so many others respect your knowledge and opinion.
Hello,
I am in a clinical trial at the British Columbia Cancer Agency investigating the use of Lutetium pre-chemotherapy. As perhaps you know this drug has been approved in Canada but only after chemotherapy. My experience with this clinical trial has been outstanding. No nausea, dry mouth, sickness…nothing. My advice is for your hubby is to accept his oncologist’s recommendation. There are a lot of exciting clinical trials underway in immunotherapy and radiologand therapy just to name a few. Good luck!
Thank you so very much. Just a question, what was your highest PSA? My husband was at 74 today.
