After radiation: Any advice on next steps, what to expect next 12 mos?

Posted by medq13 @medq13, Nov 18, 2023

I finished radiation treatment (45 low dose treatments over 9 weeks). ADT shot was in mid-June. Any advice on next steps, what to expect over next 6-12 months?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

gkm:
Where are your PSA blood tests performed?
Quest Labs sensitivity limit is 0.02 and Hopkins is 0.03?
Best wishes for continued undetectable PSA.

Life Labs in Vancouver, BC. I don't think it makes a significant difference if the sensitivity limit is that low. I would think you would want to avoid a lab where their sensitivity limit is < .100

That was < 0.01, not < 0.10.
