Hi desertrat
Where do you live in AZ? I am in Yuma. Going to Mayo Phoenix on
Dec 21 for PSMA PET. and conciliation on the 22nd. Getting shy about
Hormone therapy as I'm 83 but I feel a lot younger than that How difficult
will the treatment decision be concerning all the options?

Hello Mr. Olson, I finished my radiation treatments in April and life has returned to normal. My PSA is down to 1 right now so all I will do is get checked periodically to be sure it doesn’t go back up. I highly recommend listening to the folks at Mayo, they seem to be the best to me. To me, taking the hormone therapy would be preferable to dying from prostate cancer. My Dad died from prostate cancer and it was difficult for him (and his family). Best of luck, and hang in there!
