Just a brief update on my general health in connection with this thread.
My initial query on here was did anyone know if it was safe to take Fumaderm with hormone tablets that I was prescribed for my prostate cancer.
I was getting conflicting messages from my dermatology department. We did after discussion decide to keep on with the Fumaderm and keep a close watch on my bloods on a monthly basis.
Well it is three months on now.
I have had 2 of my 3 monthly hormone injections (Prostap) I have had 30 of the 37 radio therapy treatments, and apart from a small flare 3 weeks ago the psoriasis has remained under control (psoriasis score 5) but I think it is a low 5.
Just had a meeting with my oncologist today he has told me we will have to wait at least another 8 weeks to see if my PSA (Prostate-specific Antigen) level is down, he seemed quite happy with the treatment to date.
My blood results came in within the normal range from the dermatology department.
So anyone else going through similar dilemma, do ask questions if they want to stop a successful treatment, ask on what grounds. And don't accept that they just don't know as a reason
Ps my oncologist has psoriasis so passed him a psoriasis club card, he may just pop in
