Hello. After several psa readings that jumped from 5.6 to 9.6 to 6.9 and finally to 8.7, I had an mri and finally a biopsy on 12/26/2019, that confirmed I had cancer. Confined to the prostrate with a Gleason score (3+4) 7. Had a Zoladex shot (10.8) January 7, 20 radiation treatments in March, followed by a Zoladex 3.6 shot on 4-1. It’s been 2 weeks since the end of radiation. The worst side effects have been from the Zoladex shots. Tiredness, weakness, being the most troublesome. Will have a follow up psa at the end of June. Am very grateful for the care received from the Mayo Clinic (ROCHESTER and Northfield -radiation-). Looking forward to positive results in June.
