Been a bit lax with not posting since March but to be honest there hasn't been much change in my condition but I thought I would post this here although I have posted it on my Fumaderm and hormone injection thread
I was at the GP surgery for my 3 monthly PSA ( prostate specific antigen) blood test and hormone injection. The doctor told me the the next injection would be my last ( Big Grin big happy face to hear that) .as it will be two and a half years since I started treatment for the prostate cancer .....and the blood test shows the antigen as undetectable still which is brilliant news it means my prostate is behaving itself with no sign of the cancer returning
Also been for my monthly Fumaderm blood test and my levels are still good, my skin is still virtually clear after over 4 years on Fumaderm ... Still on 4 tablets a day
but the couple of plaques on the edge of my scalp which I have used a little dermovate gel on, And they are fading fast so not worth changing my psoriasis score
May blood levels
Neutrophils 4.53
Lymphocytes 1.42
So an improvement on last month ....I'm happy with those results
My kidney and liver functions were good and within normal levels..I won't bore you with all the figures
But kidney function >90
Creatinine level 71 (normal is 64-104]
All other readings are in the middle of normal...... if anyone wants a full list of the levels And what the normal levels are just pm me and I will send a list
Booked my next hormone injection for my prostate cancer for next November ...
Generally feeling well haven't had any colds but am experiencing a runny nose which I put down to the
High pollen count
Managing to handle the stress of having Mrs Jim being rather ill for most of the year with haemolytic anaemia which I'm hoping may soon be over, and the next few weeks are going to be crucial
