It's been little over 1 year, have stage4 metastatic bones and I think one lymph node. I go for blood work once a month, I just checked, they test 41 different things, I only focus on the psa level and testosterone level. When I started treatment, psa was 962 and now it's been hanging at 0.02. Testosterone level been at < .3. I get firmagon monthly and take Abiraterone and prednisone daily. I go next week for cat scan and MRI on my back, they keep looking at a "smudge" on my lower spine. The following day I see my Oncologist for blood work and get firmagon shot. To be honest, I don't do well checking all the test results, I leave that up to my wife and Oncologist. I figure it is what it is. I feel a whole lot better then I did before diagnosis. Nothing can compare to the pain I had before treatment started. Pain is gone, I'm good to go. Best to all.

The Cancer Centre in my city is associated with the main hospital network as well as a university medical school and research centre, and the hospital shows test results in a website, including graphics with the normal range marked for each result and historical trend graphs, so you can get a quick overview of anything that's out of the normal range and then Google it or call the patient support hotline if you want more info.

Perhaps something like that is available in your city as well.
