Diagnosed at 68. Interestingly, PSA was only 4.5 but had Gleason score average of 8. Had prostatectomy at 68, PSA started doubling, then had radiation at 69 for 40 sessions. PSA started doubling again, so went to hormone therapy. This kept testosterone at 0 and PSA undetectable. Recently stopped hormone therapy due to extreme fatigue but PSA is showing up again.

I’m 76. Diagnosed at 55, Gleason 4+3. Prostatectomy, recurrence, radiation. At 70 another recurrence. Went on Lupron. At 75 PSA rise. PSMA Pet scan found 4 pelvic lymph nodes with cancer. No other cancer detected. Underwent SBRT on the nodes, started Nubeqa. PSA undetectable. I highly recommend the newer PSMA scans. After 21 years with cancer I’m hoping for a cure. All the best to everyone dealing with cancer. It’s no picnic but good people are finding new ways to treat it all the time. Take charge!
