It’s called REMISSION, not cured !!
So then according to you I should Stop taking the Zytiga and not get anymore LUPRON injections 🙈 And after 9 months of night sweats ( 8 PCP visits ) he finally checked that little PSA box on the bloodwork paper !! That’s how I found out !!
Yes, something is strange here (YOU) !! My PCP does not test PSA because it is not recommended to do so !! GOOGLE IT and it will tell you the exact same thing my PCP told me !! It is Not Recommended to give patients PSA blood work tests !! So he and many PCPs do not give PSA tests !!

I think you need to change your PCP. Anytime you Google for PSA it says something like this, "While the general guidelines recommend starting at age 55, you may need PSA screening between the ages of 40 and 54 if you: Have at least one first-degree relative (such as your father or brother) who has had prostate cancer.
