Hello,

My father has Prostate Cancer but thankfully has responded well to the treatment. However, he has had some bowel issues along with frequent urination at night. His latest psa level is .02 which I think is pretty good. He is still on hormone therapy though but should be done in the near future. Do his side effects sound familiar to anyone? If so, did they go away after treatment was finished? Is a .02 PSA reading a good sign? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Has he had any other treatment other than Hormone Therapy? What was his starting PSA, before any treatments. A current reading of .02 is good, even great, regardless of the treatment(s) method, but a little more information would be helpful to properly answer your question.

Good luck, and keep us posted
