In July this year my PSA was 380, I had severe spinal decompression T2-T4 and had never done the hormone blockers but had a history of going through radiation therapy twice and also some low dose chemo. I got spinal compressive surgery Aug. 1 and was started on lupron + enzalutamide (Xtandi).
Since then my PSA and been falling and this week is down to 0.3 ng/mL. I am also doing a lot of alternative medicine as a companion and want to go off hormone blockers and cycle if needed once i hit nadir.
What should I expect for a nadir? Is 0.1 a PSA I should be happy with or does it need to be lower to assume the cancer is diminished? I hold onto hope for my miracle.

Congratulations on a great response so far! Why would you stop something that is working so well? It won't work forever, so you are better off continuing it until it stops working. Compared to people who use standard treatments, people who use alternative medicines are 2.5 times more likely to die of their cancer.
