Hi I've written on these pages before little pieces and I thought why not full history, here goes.
I have prostate cancer its not curable. I had been ill for 6 months seen doctor kept going for blood tests very confusing same tests but different results. Sent to specialist 3 months later psa test. I was OK in myself just kept being sick I did have other medical issues as well for them to check on 1is, Addisons it can kill if you aren't careful, it affects the immune system I've had it 16 years and learnt how to cope with it. Then they found cancer psa 1500 Feb 2016 had all the scans bone, mri, ct, biopsy camera at both ends different camera of course (I hope) by March psa 1581 started decapetyl(hormone) injections every 12 weeks 2nd June started docetaxel (chemotherapy) supposed to have 10 sessions but to many side effects 4th session in hospital 8 days going in & out of a coma, side affect of addisons & chemo cut sessions to 6 for safety. Between sessions I was sick 6to8 day's day and night,. My last chemo 16 September 2016 psa is0.9 it kept going down till 7feb 2018 0.03. Been rising since. Last test 10 Dec 2018 0.4 specialist said I can have some more chemo when it gets to 20 its just a waiting game for now, I'm on injection rest of life. I am 6 7 years old. When I finished chemo I put on 2 stone I tried everything but it wouldn't go down I asked doctors they said only way is to stop injection I would rather keep the weight some choice.Iforget my gleason was 8 other test t3b n1 m1b
Cancer is in prostate lymph nodes, bones (spine, pelvis, and ribs) and 1 lung, kemo cleared the lung. Just had a scan to make sure C has not gone anywhere else.
