Ca Pros report


Yesterday I heard the results of the two recent blood tests.
We’d expected that going off bicalutamide a month ago would temporarily lower my PSA and then it would rise again as before.
But that doesn’t seem to have happened. Both tests are the same, although ten days apart. In general, that suggests only some slowing of my recent rate of increases.

So we are going to do another in another ten days and review that in early August. Hopefully, I will pass this step towards entering the ARN-509 Drug Trial.

A miracle cure? Not at all. But if it's another step along the way to reducing the scourge that is prostate cancer, so much the better.
