All,

- Just got my latest PSA.  .09

- Have had lower back issues for some time now, bone scan back in June ok.

- Recheck in 6 weeks and probably go on ADT from there.

Very emotional at this point (and I'm not even on HT)

Any words of wisdom are appreciated.

Thanks,

Jerry L.

Jerry, my friend, so sorry to hear of your rise

Jerry, sorry to hear the rise, however: do not sell the farm yet....it is still in the undectable range may be an adjustment of yor normal. Also most people get back pain at some time in their life. try a massage will help with the back pain and the stress.
God Bless!

Sorry about the PSA rise.

When I had my 0.14 I felt some pain down there and asked the doc about it. He said that my PSA level was so low that if there is cancer it would be a very small amount and therefore very unlikely to cause any pain. So maybe your backache is something else.

Jerry,
You were supposed to not do that.

But yes, it looks like HT is coming. Hang in there, buddy...

Jerry, after a very nice run of three monthly <.05, the 0.09 is disappointing but not time to hit the panic button yet. I'd guess your next one is scheduled for May/June. That should give a better indication of what's happening. Here's to it being a blip.

Jerry, sorry about the PSA rise. No one likes to see that. STay strong and don't give up. HT can get it down and hopefully keep it down for a long long time.
