My journey with Stage 4 Mets PSA continues

[mpmeyers]

This is my 2nd post since diagnosed this past February. After zytiga failed tried Xtandi and it too failed, PSA continued to climb. After the first chemo treatment with taxotere , my MO said to expect a spike by the time the next treatment was due in 3 weeks. It did spike to 137 and today I am happy to report that the PSA dropped to 117. I have renewed hope in fighting this dreadful disease and wish everyone not to get despondent; that you can find a treatment that works.

Try re-challenging with Xtandi or Zytiga after you complete Taxotere treatments. It's been known to resensitize the cancer.

Thanks Tall_Allen. I will definitely bring this up to my MO when I finish with chemo. 6 more treatments. I am glad I didn’t throw away those pills.
