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!

I was diagnosed in April of 2022. Gleason score 4+3 but cancer metastasized to L2 with 6 active tumors in the prostate. Decided to undergo 31 radiation sessions (3 high dose to the L2 region) and the remaining 28 to the Prostate tumors. Completed radiation therapy Dec. 2, 2023. Had one round of Lupron but had so many side effects decided to stop after the first dose. Recent psa was .03. I feel wondeful and have most of my initial energy back. Just pray each day that this continues but always wonder what the future truly looks like! Just keep fighting the fight and keep a positive attitude.

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.

Just completed 5 high dose proton radiation and 1 ElegardADT. Side effects are difficult and may stop ADT after review of results. I am (otherwise healthy) 86 years old.
