The deal is Bob, I’ve had this for 15 years. My fourth and last reoccurrence was in 2021. I did try reducing abiraterone from 4 pills to 3, to try to reduce the brain fog. My PSA went up from .2 to 1 in 18 days. when reducing to 3 pills, while on Abbie.

So that sort of set the future for me, Reduce or stop the drugs and my PSA will rise quickly.

The thing is, for over 4 years the drugs have kept PC Controlled, and even undetectable for the last 16 months. Even though I have BRCA2.

I still get monthly blood test, but I don’t even think about the fact that results may not come in until that night or the next day. It’s nice to see them, but the anxiety is just gone. It’s been so many years.

I remember the first few months after getting monthly PSA tests I would worry about the results and wait in anticipation of the results. I know that’s what’s happening for almost everybody out there who’ve only have had a few years of PC.

The other reason I don’t have anxiety is because I know that when Darolutamide stops working, I can move to a PARP Inhibitor and then chemo or Pluvicto. There are still many things that can keep me alive.
