I am 56 and diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4/3) in September 2022. Had RP on November 3, Pathology looked good, nothing found in 6 lymph nodes or seminal vesicles. Now, awaiting my 3-month post RP PSA check Even though the post RP pathology looked good, I am quite anxious for my PSA check, praying for PSA to be undetectable/near 0.
Question, has anyone been in my situation (clear pathology post RP), only to be surprised with increasing PSA?
Happy New Year and hope everyone had a wonderful X-Mas/Holiday Season.
I absolutely love this topic. I am still 69. Two years in. Feel like I have discovered my better self.
I am 69 with Gleason 3+4 and psa 10.2. I start my 5 radiation treatments beginning of February 2023
How are u doing with Lupron?
I had one cycle every three weeks times five I was scheduled for six but they tested me after three and said that it was working everything look good but I’d be on it the rest of my life or till I can’t tolerate it then I came to Florida for the winter and changed over time Moffitt cancer center down and the doctor took me off of the chemo and started me on the radium 223 treatment which is Xofigo

I was diagnosed at 57 after four years seeing doctors. Only the biopsy showed positive-all Gleason 10+
I am 68 now. Many different treatments endured.
I am 50. Was diagnosed at 49 with my first ever PSA check. First test was at 26, 2 months later 32, 2 months later, 39. Been through internal radiation, external radiation, and now the last 3 months of the 6 month Lupron injection.
Diagnosed at 53 and had RP. Numbers good for a long time, then started creeping. In the mean time I developed Pancreatic cancer and had the Whipple procedure done in Feb. of 2019. It is in remission for now. However my PSA started going up and went from 40 to 60+ in two months. 69. This was in February on 2022. Started Lupron, but bone scan showed showed hot spots in pelvic and hip area. No pain, but little tough for a while mentally. Have a bone scan again in Feb of 2023. My Oncologist and I both joke that the Pancreatic cancer will get me before the Prostate cancer does. Not being morbid, but the facts are the facts. Being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer was like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Now I am just jumping back into the frying pan. I have complete faith in my Oncologist and the Lord. I have always been a believer in crossing the bridge when I get to it, and why not have a little lighthearted fun along the way.
65 got it at 64.
