So my metastatic prostate cancer has been treated with Plato approximately seven months ago because my PSA rate drastically increased up to 11 from .01. I have been on the Lupron shot additionally every three months and monitoring my PSA level also. So I just got my three month blood results back and my PSA rate has shot up drastically to almost 13.0 so I will see my doctor at USC oncology on the 16th of this month unless he sees the results and wants to see me sooner, but he has told me that chemotherapy would probably be their next line of treatment. I am not so sure that I want to go through that pain and suffering to only extend my life for a few more months because I know that they can no longer kill the cancer because it has spread throughout my whole body. I have noticed my blood pressure has shot up to 170/90 just in the last month and I have been having some stomach issues and also my right lymph node having increased in size for a short time so I know my body is not right. Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know what my results have been so far after the plavicto and it did bring the numbers down slowly to 2.13 months ago.

Sorry, I did not check my spelling. I meant it to be. Plavicto not Plato. Please forgive me for my error.
