Advocate!! I finally did and now have a chance

In 2020, at age 60: PSA of 28, Gleason 9. 5 weeks radiation + 3 years ADT (Eligard). After pausing Eligard, PSA rose quickly from 0.06 to 2.0. Back on Eligard Dec. 2024, PSA still slowly rising. Apparently my urologist's plan was for me to slowly die. Now I go to Mayo. HDR brachytherapy planned for June.

Did you do a PSMA to check for spread? It would be good news if the tumor is still localized.

At the age of 60y, was that your first PSA test or had you been tracking your PSA for a decade+? Did the PSA jump to 28 suddenly or was it a slow increase over many years? Much goes into that initial treatment decision.
