Before treatments (Apalutamide, Degarelix, Zometa) PSA number at biopsy was 6.89
After hospitalization (June/July 2024) for heart attack: PSA was at 348 (monitored by Oncologist at hospital)
Treatments began in August 2024 monthly. PSA at 52.11
September Blood draw showed PSA at 22.29
October Blood draw showed PSA at 2.77
Significance of the dropping of the PSA number?
Congratulations!
Treatments are working. Need to determine with scans where the beast lies and how big.
Hormone therapy will reduce progression of the cancer, but it won't eliminate it.
Enough scans while hospitalized off and on show the area is the lower spinal area. Eliminating is impossible anyway. Just containment per several Oncologist working on it.
I suggest you read my bio, in particular about my spinal metastasis.
See, there are pluses to heart attacks after all...
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
