Prostate cancer and Zytiga and ZERO PSA

I don’t necessarily recommend that course. Coming off treatment and letting the poison leave the body for awhile has its benefits,quality of life,feeling better etc. Over treatment is a bad thing too. My plan is still to stay off treatment as long as I can. That’s also the only way to see if one-selves cancer might be in remission. Watch it closely and save the treatment for when it is really needed. I think family members can sometimes be selfish wanting to keep their loved ones as long as possible without looking at the quality of life the person is having. Respect the patients feelings. I hope you are able to both work through this for a mutual decision on treatments.

Thanks for the comment. I am anxious to try "no treatment " for a while just to see what's going on. Let PSA rise to a level that allows a PSMA SCAN to identify areas of concern. Then any lesions can be treated individually. It's an effective way to continue to "play for time".
The drugs or "treatment " have an evil side both physically and psychological. There are activities that I would like to do but can't due to side effects.
