March of 2022 I had a psa of 80 w Pelvic lymph node (2) involvement, Gleason 7 ++,
Treated w 39 IMRT sessions (May-June) and 6 mos LUPRON (Local provider).
PSA (Aug 2022)=1.2
Stared ABIRATERONE (Zytiga) Sept 1 2022.
PSA on (Sept 19, 2022)=0.4
Refresh of LUPRON on Sept 22, 2022
This is a brag for Mayo (Phoenix).
This would not be possible without Mayo's willingness to work with the VA. Thanks to the VA for working w Mayo.
Despite the rosy numbers I still have a long and difficult journey.
The treatment is not without SIDE EFFECTS.
I am happy to am happy to answer any questions.

My PSA is 1.2 after back on Zolodex Has 39 radiations 4 yrs ago but came back in L2 Had radiation to take out 1 inch cancer in L2 lumbar

So why for yo the need to go on Zytiga? your PSA was 1,2 good
