Can Prostate Cancer "Take a New Trajectory"?

Jeff - I have had buddies stop and start ADT several times . It seems to make ADT more effective for MUCH longer (10-15 years + ) . Just my experience in observing them . I got Salvage radiation 3 years after my operation at PSA 0.14 but never had ADT for some reason. Drs indicated I did not need ADT and in my case it would not be recommended . Now my PSA is 0.061- 0.032 in that range . Dr think that I have some healthy cells in pelvic area pushing out very small micro amounts of PSA . Dr's are not worried at all and they say they see this often . Strange case I think . Thanks for your help on board ! James on Vancouver Island .

This is something I hear about a lot. It works quite well for some people, I know a few people that have done this two or three times and ended up having multiple metastasis. This needs to be done very carefully keeping an eye on your PSA.

The guy that runs the CSC bimonthly online Prostate cancer meetings has BRCA2 and did this a couple of times and now lights up like a Christmas tree on a PSMA pet scan. Be careful.
