3 Month Results Are In!

Hi, everyone. My husband finished IMRT the end of October. On Tuesday, we were delighted to get the first report: PSA came in at <.01

We were delighted with this result and figure we have achieved an important goal. Happy dance! He has another checkup in 6 months.

I still have a question for all of you. Dr. Lee took him off Lupron (husband took one six-month shot). I was a bit surprised at that because the doc had sorta suggested we might be in for another shot some months ago. I asked about this, but Dr. Lee said my husband's testosterone level/PSA result indicated he didn't need another shot at this time. My husband's testosterone level came in at 38 ng/dL

Does this sound right to everyone? Is that an expected post-treatment testosterone level? Low? High?

BRIEF BACKGROUND: husband is 69 years old, pre-treatment PSA of 5.2, Gleason 7 (3+4), normal DRE, IMRT/HT

good news on the PSA. Hope they keep coming in like that!.

Thanks, everyone! And yes, gunfighter, you recall correctly. We decided to hit with everything we could, especially since the biopsy load was pretty high even though the percentages were all well below 50%. I have to check on "Fox Chase." Didn't know about that.

irmaly - CONGRATS on the hubby's big ZERO, and best wishes for lots more!
