Morning I was diagnosed with stage 3 advance prostate cancer with a psa of 120 I had prosap hormonal injections and radiotherapy my psa dropped to .6 after a year it went up to 1.2 and was doubling up every 4 weeks and my psa went up to 6 the oncologist has prescribed zitaga and persodene I was at the hospital last week and my psa has come down to 4 they are not concerned so I just feel I am getting the best treatment and what will be will be from all the scans it has not spread I know there is no cure and they can only do the best for me

Hi David. I take it you have a medical reason why they can't remove your prostate if as you said it hasn't spread.. 

Billy 

The cancer has broken through the prostate wall and it never came up to remove the prostate so they must have had some reason for not giving that option I have had numerous scans so many I have lost count so I presume it has not spread I have full confidence in the oncologist 

The tables I get I think is only available in scotland and I suppose each oncologist treat it differently it was prescribed by the professor sorry hit wrong button as I have replied in capital letters

Hi Billy, 

Just thought I'd share a little update we got today. Blood test results show his PSA has now dropped to normal levels from 132.3. So that shows that hormone therapy has had an effect. Chemo starts on the 18th so fingers crossed. 
 

I watched Bill Turnbull's documentary on Channel 4 called 'Staying Alive' about his life with advanced prostate cancer. It was super helpful and heartwarming. Have you seen it? It's on 4oD in case you want to check it out :)

How are you doing? 

Hi qwerty glad hormone therapy is working means cemotherapy can do a better job.. Didn't see that program I'll have a look thanks. Glad it was helpful to you. 

I'm same as usual, thanks just plodding on.

Really glad it's working well bet your relived. 

Billy xx 

Thank you so much Billy. I know this is all going to be a long process but I think celebrating the small wins makes a difference. 
There was a man on the documentary who was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer back in 2015 and has written a lot about the lifestyle changes he's made. In case you want to read about that also :) thecancerjourneyman.co.uk/.../
