Other ways to test than PSA

I started trying to find my answer in previous posts but I got a little overwhelmed. My business just has me tied in knots right now.

I thought I had seen where there were other ways to test your progress other than PSA. As you can see in my signature, mine is relatively low for 11 years after original diagnosis, but even though they're small, it has had 3 straight rises, the first one being 5 times the previous one. My doctor is talking Lupron if this trend remains the same in April, when I have my next check up.

So, two questions: Are there other methods to use? I've never been to any doctor but urologists; should I get a second opinion from an oncologist before I go the chemical castration route?

I edited my signature right before I made this post. I checked my profile to see why it isn't showing. It said it may take a few moments to show up. Here it is again, hopefully.

Thanks to both of you. Yes, that last number should be .19.

You'll want to talk to an MO who specializes in PC. Since you've already had radiation and surgery, your next step is ADT. The question is when to start.

Even though it is going up, you could wait awhile before starting.

But wait for the next test. Sadly it looks like you'll need more treatment
