Thank you for sharing. Could I ask if your PSA went down right away or did it take months? My husband’s went down 60% in the first 2.5 weeks from the initial monthly shot. Wondering if will go down further in subsequent/weeks or months with additional shots. Thank you in advance for any info you can share.

Hi Jaykwik. At the beginning of treatment, my PSA was 120+. During radiation therapy (30 sessions), Chemo-therapy (6 weeks), and Lupron/Eligard (2 years), it began a steady, continuous decline. My quality of life has improved dramatically.
