Hi Sis .

Hi Billy
thanks for response and glad to hear you are doing okay. My worry is that my husband is missing out by not having Chemo. I don’t fully understand if Enzalutamide kills cancer cells in the same way Chemo does. But we were told this is “gold standard treatment”. I wasn’t initially concerned, in fact we were relieved. But the reason given for no Chemo was Covid. Then I joined here and seen others are still having Chemo despite Covid.
Our next consultation is not until 1 April. So I can ask then.
Can I ask what your PSA was when first diagnosed

Hi Sis.
My first PSA was 1581 Enzalutamide actually stops the male hormone that the cancer feeds on .
I know it sounds strange but its actually the medicine that they give to men who want a sex change good point I only have to shave my face once a week now .no other changes I was warned that my BP could go up and to keep a check on it.
Remember take care of yourself.
Hope hubby is still mobile
