Prostate cancer hormone injection resistance aftr 3mths

Hormone injection stopped working after 3 months.

anyone else have experience with this?

 

79 y/o initial psa at diagnosis 700, bone mets. 
Hormone therapy commenced and psa fell to 39 after 2 mths. 

3 month psa blood test showed psa level 700 again. :(
 

  • Don't know if im any help, my PSA didn't drop at all after having first injection and tablets ,4months later I had chemotherapy ,it drops from 1581 to 41 in first month and keeps dropping for two years to 0.03 ,(i had 6 session chemo 1a month ) then started rising slowly for two years to 1.9 , then jumped to 65 in 2 months and I was put on stronger hormone therapy tablets,(march 2020) and its dropped again latest is 0.04.

    i was originally diagnosed Feb 2016 , classed as uncurable .its classed as stage 4 T3B N1 M1B Gleason 8 . It's gone to lymph nodes spine ribs pelvis and a lung.,now classed as palative care .

     There are alot of different hormone therapy types.injection and tablets it's possible another will help . remember im a cancer patient no medical knowledge apart from my own and what I've been reading about others.

    Hope I've been some help , im a carer for my wife she has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's plus other problems.

  • Thanks for taking the time to reply, that is very helpful.. hopefully other hormone treatments will work so.. 

    i feared that no hormone treatments will work as the psa level went back up so quickly.

    hope you and your wife are doing okay!

    all the best
