End of one trial - Start of another???

[Guest guest]

Hullo everyone

Just to let you know that I had my last visit to St 's to tidy up the

vaccine trial. I had blood taken, including some blood for immunolgy tests.

The trial is now running down with just one or two finishing the first year

and a few on follow up continuation.

I am going back to see them about a low dose chemotherapy - one daily tablet

of chlorophosphamide. This is another trial that St 's are running.

Best wishes all

Interested to hear that you may be on another St s trial . As you

know, I am on low dose continuous chemo - cyclophosphamide. So far so good,

PSA rise slowed. Awaiting next test on 17 February. Is Dr Pandha comparing

one with the other I wonder? I'll ask him about it when I am next there.

Could be interesting.

I have been following the comments from various group colleagues about the

relationship of their PSA to their particular state. Mine was up to 136 a

couple of years ago, brought down by Casodex & later by Zoladex when the

former lost effect then down to 9 on the Onyvax vaccine after the Zoladex

effect waned. Currently 61.5, no known mets., only the local spread which

was identified when I was first diagnosed four years ago with a Gleason

score of 7.

Best wishes to all,

it was late at night and I probably got the name wrong - sorry it will be the same stuff!
