Re: Need info on Ketoconazole and hormone refactory
Hello,
Its been a while since I have posted on this forum.
Dad's PSA continued to rise even after stopping Bicalutamide, thats when he was put on Ketoconazole. Since then, our family has been anxious, happy and worried. Anxious as we were waiting for Dad's PSA result after starting Ketoconazole, which lead to a drop from 7.5 to 6.5 in a month (Oct 2011). This is what made us all happy. Now the month 2 result (Nov 2011) has got us worried, Dad's PSA has gone up to 8. Just when we though Keto was working, we get these results. Confused and worried, we are getting his PSA done again tomorrow from another lab. Does PSA fluctuate like this while on Keto or is it something to worry about?
