Hopefully some of our more experienced prostate cancer members will offer their thoughts about your latest reading soon but if you'd like to have a quick chat about this with one of our cancer nurses then you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Good luck with your radiotherapy Pungle.

Long time since I was on.
Finished my 37 radiotherapy treatments,not too bad,had my first follow up and my psa has gone from 162 to 3 so I,m hoping it will keep dropping with hormone treatment.
Oncologist says it will be 18 months to get it right down so feeling anxious but also hopeful

Welcome back Pungle :)
It's lovely to hear from you again and that you bring good tidings about your treatment.
I'm really glad it's been so effective and fingers crossed the hormone treatment will help your PSA drop even lower.
Do let us know how you continue to get on when you can. We're thinking of you and sending all our positivity your way.
Kind regards,
