I realize he does have a very serious case. I’m not sure most doctors would want to do something at .05, but the doubling rate is pretty fast and that is what you really need to go by. .026 and 40 days later hitting .05 is a very fast doubling rate. I wonder if the doctor might want to wait for one more test just to make sure but adjunct radiation was something you were looking at originally and it probably is time to do it soon.

So sorry to hear this is happening. I know the first time I went on ADT, a 6 month shot, It wasn’t a big deal while I was working and didn’t even notice it. When I went on it full time a few years later the pressure of my job was too much so I retired.

Thanks Jeff for sharing your thoughts 💗.

Yes, that doubling time is what really shocked me ! There are some papers that dispute "uPSA" doubling time importance but when snake bites you once, you do not ignore even the tiniest snakes. 😑

My husband can not retire unfortunately, so we really hope it will not come to that. *sigh
