Getting Tired of This Sh*t

Hi Gents,

Prior to having my fifth round of Pluvicto, I had bloodwork done at Quest Labs. I had the lab perform orders from three separate doctors. For some reason, they ran my PSA two times from the same blood draw. I had two different results: 21.51 and 30.0. Prior to my infusion at Stanford today, Stanford did a blood draw to compare their results with Quest. Stanford’s results were even worse at 33.5; this is a doubling time of just a little more than 8 weeks. I’m freaking out a bit. My life is just moving from one treatment to the next. After 19 years, I have grown tired and weary. No siblings, no children, no significant other. I am reaching my limit with this disease. Thanks for letting me vent.

Thanks. At this juncture, after Pluvicto, I may just ask for one year off. I am just in a weird head space right now. Another PSMA-PET will now be ordered prior to my last round of Pluvicto.
