6 month PSA measurement

[ulfhbg]

Hi !

I thought that I could share some good news.

I’ve had my PSA result; 6 month PSA measurement after radiation (with ongoing Orgovyx and Abi) and it was < 0.1 again (in Sweden and Finland they don’t do ultrasensitive PSA).

Well, anyway I wanted to share good news with all fantastic members in this forum.

Hi !

Thanks a lot. From the Bio I understand you’re also a locally advanced with lymph node involvement but your MO / medical team seems to be on top of it and is giving you a treatment with curative intent; radiation, ADT longterm (i suppose) and Abiraterone longterm (aswell I suppose) and I think with that treatment you will kicking the prostate cancer beast into submission and hopefully kill it off.

Anyway, thanks and keep fighting and best of luck

Thanks. Yes that is my treatment plan. I am currently iff of the Abi due to high liver enzymes. But i will be back on it in a few weeks when things return to normal. I have one more week of radiation after today(Friday). Thanks!

Hi !

Sounds like a solid plan and even better that you hopefully can resumé Abiraterone and Prednisolone as well.

Seems you went into the radiation with a good PSA respons 0.14 and that’s very good

Anyway, hopefully you get a really good respons and kicks ’the ass of the prostate cancer beast’ Of course it’s stressful to wait for the PSA test 3 months after radiation but I have a good feeling already when going in with a good low PSA result into the radiation.

Fingers and toes crossed my friend

Hi !

Thanks and after reading your Bio you seem to be on a very good track yourself and that’s fantastic. Always nice to see success stories and you seem to be one of them

Right on, Ulf! Oct 8 PSA remains at <0.01, and doc says we can get labs every 6 months (vs every 3 months). And my next doctor visit isn’t until October 2025.

Hi !

Sounds like a very good prognosis anyway. I’ve been stressed out and anxious waiting 3 months so 6 months for me, in the beginning after changes in treatment, would have stressed me out completely. Ok, well as long as you have regular checkups and they show up fine I could also live with minimal doctors appointments
