PSA up again

Well it looks as though the second line hormone treatment has been unsuccessful. I had a PSA test on Tuesday and received the results today. The PSA count is now up to 224.2. Very disappointing, especially with the effect the extra treatment has had on me. I don't have an appointment with the urologist until 7th May but am minded to write to him about stopping the second line hormone treatment.

  1. Hi there Chris.
    I would write to your urologist as you suggest. (In fact I type a letter on Wordpad and print it using Microsoft Fax for important matters because they arrive quicker - emails are usually dismissed out of hand.)
    Keep fighting. I'm thinking of you.
    My very best wishes to you.

  2. Brian I did write to the urologist but have not had a reply as yet. It looks as if it is anaemia is the main cause of my breathlessness but I would not rule out Bicalutamide 150mg as being a con tributary factor.
