@jeffmarc thank you for sharing. Did any of your urology doctor advised to do Surgery to remove the prostate ? From your story, you just doing hormone therapy, without doing any radio ?

It was quite specific in the message I wrote. I had a prostatectomy 16 years ago and 3 1/2 years later my PSA started rising so I had salvage radiation. 2..5 years after that, my PSA started rising again, and I went on Casodex for a little over a year and then Lupron for six years.
That was in the first sentence I wrote above.
I was given the choice of surgery or radiation. My father died of prostate cancer and he had radiation so I decided to have surgery Because if it came back, I could have radiation.
