Finally had my meeting with my consultant, had to postpone it three weeks because of a kidney issue that absolutely floored me, but that seems to be sorted now.
The 6 cycles of Docetaxel I had from August to Dec '24 did keep my PSA suppressed, and CT scans show that it did significantly shrink the met on my liver and a couple of others, too. However, I couldn't have carried on with it. My PSA has now risen to 128 (from 33 in December), but that's to be expected as I still have a prostate and multiple active mets all over the place.
So we crack on for another 3 months, and we'll see how things go. I may consider Cabazitaxel chemo if I start to get symptoms again, and I've asked to be put forward for clinical trials as they come up: at the very least, it would be interesting to know what's out there.
The good news is, I feel healthy, getting my strength back after the kidney problem, going for long walks with my fam (weather permitting) and itching to get out on the bike too (weather permitting). The nights are getting lighter, the days a little warmer, roll on Springtime!
