I got my results from my first PSA test after the SRT. It came back as less than .1 which the RO considered undetectable. I finished SRT 85 days ago but I still have some Lupron in my system. Because of the Lupron I didn't expect this to be anything but undetectable.
I'm still debating whether to take a Lupron break for a few months to see if the number comes back up or stays down. I have a followup with the URO next week.

given your stats, I'd be thinking of doing one more shot. I know it's not fun, but it might help. Did your RO/URO have an opinion on that?

G5. PSA 34. one 6-month shot so far and you want to take a break?

My RO said he didn't think it would make much difference. I'll see the URO next Tuesday. He was pushing for 18 months originally so he will most likely tell me at least one more. I'm just curious to know if it's really low or masked by the Lupron. I've noticed some cognitive SE and that worry's me along with the potential diabetic SE. I think I ate 12 lbs of sugar over Christmas with all the baking my wife did smile
I'm on the fence so if the doc has a good argument I'll probably do another.

The cancer probably got punched hard and is lying on the ground. Curiosity killed the cat. I wouldn’t give it a chance to get up off the ground. Finish the little ******s off without a break

I've tried replying twice and it's not showing up so hopefully there won't be duplicate replies later.

Of course you all are correct. I think once again I had convinced myself it's just PCa. I will get the shot and make sure it never does get off the ground again.Thanks for keeping my head out of places it shouldn't be.
Here's to a better year.
