Hi everyone,
after ups And downs , this month PSA came at 4,5 it 's a jump from 1,69 in 3 months, he repeated ct scan and MRT that still showed the spot at the lower of the spine.
His oncologist decided that it's time to start the treatment which is :
chemo with docetaxel.
Zometa for 12 months
Is there anything else that should be done?
Any advice please?
Thank you
