PSA

I am thankful to report that as of now, my PSA is still at zero, for which I thank God!

I had appointments with both my oncologist & radiologist this week.  My PSA is still zero & my testosterone is increasing after stopping hormone therapy in December of last year. These are good things & I am grateful for the results.  I have to have my PSA checked every 3 months & plan to meet my oncologist in 6 months.

The only side affects I have are having diarrhea more often and more fatigue.  I take a nap more days than not.  I was able to go on a 4-hour hike a few days ago though, with no problem.

I just returned from an appointment with my urologist/oncologist. He said that he was happy that my PSA was at zero. I was glad I did not need another hormone injection! I continue to get hot flashes from them.

I was told if I do not start producing testosterone on my own within 7 months, I will need testosterone injections, as without it, though it is good at keeping the cancer in check, the lack of testosterone could result in diabetes or heart disease!

He said I should get my PSA and testosterone tested again in 3 months. I am thankful it went as well as it did!
