Advanced Metastatic PC-Drop in PSA

Hello All,

It's been a while since I've posted. I just wanted to update you all with some great news. To refresh your memory, DH diagnosed in April with Stage IV metastatic PC with extensive mets to bones and nodes. PSA in April was 718. He started Casodex, Lupron and just completed his 2nd cycle of Docetaxel. Current PSA, prior to his infusion on the 19th, was 2.7! He is kicking some serious cancer butt right now. Thinking of you all and wishing you well.

With Hope,
Nikki

Hello Bird8,

I've been following your posts ... I'm mindful of what you and your husband are going through, right now.

WOW ! You've had some remarkable success with your course of treatments already !

That's a testament to the power of the treatments and medications !

The P.S.A. level has REALLY dropped !

As my doctor would say, "You are having a TREMENDOUS RESPONSE to these treatments!"

If time allows, I invite you to add your insight and experiences with the chemo treatments to our thread entitled "TAXOTERE SIDE EFFECTS" --- just type that thread title into the search box and you will find it easily --- you might wish to add your first-hand experiences with chemo treatments onto the thread, in the interest of helping others, down the road.

I'm so thankful for your GOOD NEWS today, Bird8 !

Handshake of congratulations, from across the miles,
