I was diagnosed in about 2000 with a PSA of 2, but nodules on perimeter of the prostate suggested surgery. So,
I selected the seed implant to avoid incontinence and impotentance. 20 years later my PSA is up to 14, and then in 2 more years up to 16.7. Recently, we did a PET scan and discovered cancer migrating throughout my body.
So now we are on Lupron therapy and wondering what will happen next? It is difficult adjusting to certain facts
about my cancer. Is it really cancer? Seems after the first diagnosis we just waited for the next PSA reading to decide what next. It was always lets see what the next reading will be. Now it has spread throughout my body and
we are treating with hormone therapy and still waiting to see the next PSA reading. Compared to many readings,
a 16.7 is not tremendous. But, it is greater than 0, and that is a concern to me, along with not knowing what is next. Jim McCurry
