After having either significant declines or at least a .1 drop for 8 months, mine started up from 1.1 to 1.2 as of last week. I am concerned that the Xtandi has run its course. My Onco agrees, but says we have to see three months of increase (two more) before throwing in the towel and moving to traditional chemo, based on my insurance requirements. So another $30,006 in the toilet, I guess.
I have delayed my official retirement so I can keep my employer-provided insurance.
What does not kill you does not make you stronger, it just comes back and tries again tomorrow.
