3 1/2 years after my RP my PSA started rising and at .2 I had salvage radiation. 2 1/2 years later, my PSA started rising, and I was put on Lupron. I was a Gleason seven also.

There’s no reason she should wait to .8, Sounds like you need to find another doctor. MSK There’s a good place to get treated. Maybe you need to see a different doctor there.

My urologist put me on Lupron when my PSA started rising after salvage radiation. At that point, I was assigned a Genito Urinary Oncologist to handle my case from that on.

That’s the right way to do this, not waiting till you hit .8. Your PSA is going to continue to rise because your cancer has reoccurred..

Have you had genetic testing? Your cancer may be coming back because of a genetic problem. Your doctor at MSK should allow you to get a genetic test to see if there’s a problem. I have BRCA2 that’s why mine keeps coming back
