I'm 60, blood work in mid 2021, psa was 22+, psa in late 2022 32+. ( a little history) cold turkey stopped smoking after 40 years in early 2021, Dr told me lets recheck psa in a few months, my procrastination I didnt go back to recheck for a year +. Yes MY fault. anywho after a MRI and Biopsy in early 2023. 6/7 are the Gleason score's pretty much thruout . Acouple of leisons detected too. This is all new territory for me so please forgive my ignorance. I pray for everyone in this fight.

Hello, I am sorry to hear that the cancer spread after the treatment. My psa was at 0.11 in December and recently it was .03 in early March. I was unable to tolerate the side effects of the ADT and stopped after one round. I am hopeful that the psa will remain low. I have no idea if and when they will perform the pet scan again? Hang in there and don't lose faith!

You got this if it is as easy for you as it was for me. Stay away from the coffee for a few weeks until after the radiation is done. Hope you are doing the 5 treatments.
