PSA numbers after radiation with no ADT

Posted by ozelli @ozelli, Apr 5 3:48am

I tried to get a thread started about people who had radiation without ADT but often the thread got jumbled with input from people who had radiation and ADT.

I would like to hear from those who had radiation and no ADT. Just for ease of reading, if you could use the same format below, that would be appreciated.

One study of a few thousand men who at the 6 month mark had an average PSA of 2.2 (so I was a little higher than average at that point).

My numbers were:

Radiation Type: Proton Beam

Number of Sessions: 21

Last PSA before treatment: 17.53

3 months post Tx: 4.11

6 months post Tx: 2.47

9 months post Tx: 1.83

Useful video talk from the University of California. Details about expected PSA levels with no hormone treatment can be seen from the 5:05 mark.
