Thanks Phil. You're right. PSA was 12. They did a thyroid test too. Apparently ADT can mess with it. I had no idea. I tested fine for that so far.

Then if your PSA has gone from 12 to 0.6 in just 6 weeks (before radiation or prostatectomy) your cancer is responding very well to ADT, and that improves your long-term prognosis — all of this coming from a layperson, of course.
