PSA has dropped from 9 in February to 4, which is sensational!
I talked to my oncologist about chronic fatigue and depression. Since starting the new hormone therapy I have been struggling with lack of motivation and energy. If I do physical work or exercise I end up with sore muscles. And I am putting on weight. Plus I am struggling with depression.
We agreed to drop the new hormone tablets for six weeks to see what impact that has. Then we will do bloods and scans for the next meeting in three months to review PSA and tumour activity.
The oncologist will see what mental health resources are available and I will also talk to my GP about this.
All things considered it is a pretty cool result.
Good health and happiness to all! Cheers, Phil
Things I learned while dealing with prostate cancer 
You are a legend Phil.
Keep on keeping on.
Lots of love from Lesley
And Margaret xxxxx
Thanks to both of you! It’s just one foot in front of the other! I hope you are both well. Cheers, Phil
I imagine it is – but you just keep putting that foot in front of the other. We are both well, thank you for asking. Mum is 8 weeks post op from a hip replacement and is doing absolutely marvellously.
Love Lesley
Sensational, indeed! Glad to hear that your PSA is behaving the way you want it to. With luck, you can find the right balance with the hormones to reduce the side effects.
All the best. Dan
