UPDATE

Had my 2nd three month jab last Thursday and bloods taken for my first psa since diagnosis in July… get results tomorrow…. Fingers crossed chaps

Also had to do a covid test today ready for my   CT scan this Thursday at Weston park.  Me n the mrs haven’t seen anyone since before Xmas so covid shouldn’t be a problem. 

keep fighting gentlemen I’ll update on the psa tomorrow

regards Martin

Possibly degarelix, which stops testosterone production immediately.
