hi Colleen, thank you for the article.
The reason i can screen in the first place is because my father had PCa, and my mother had Breast and Stomach cancer. Both of them went through treatment and are cancer free now.

My brother will get himself tested in the coming year.
If you read my timeline, i started with Bicalutamide 40mg immediately after the biopsy positive results with a PSA of 180. 1 moth later after the PSMA tests came back (T3b, Gleason 9 (4+5), 9 of 12 cores affected) the urologist put me on Lupron 3 month depot.
After 1st month PSA dropped to 4, however 2 month results showed the PSA rising back to 11.
Right now i got switched to Degarelix 1 month depot.
I have a PSMA scheduled in February, but i am trying to get an appointment sooner, in January.
The idea is to do RARP in February.
Afterwards, it will probably be followed up with some RT and adjuvant.

Hello Bro dinu!

\\After 1st month PSA dropped to 4, however 2 month results showed the PSA rising back to 11.

How do testosterone levels change?
