Well, it's been 13 weeks but my psa doubled from 1.2 to 2.4. At least it's not running away! Meet with the Onc Friday to discuss Provenge and other options.

Sorry about the quick rise in PSA. Many options still out there. BB

Sounds like Provenge in your case may be a good option (I assume only a few LN, bone mets, as your signature states that the 1st scan was inconclusive). Did your oncologist tried increasing the Casodex dose? This may do the trick, at least for a few months. Best to you, many options still available, especially if you live in the US.

That's not what you wanted to hear.
Here's hoping the doc has a good suggestion for you.
I hear that Provenge has good possibilities.

Let us know what the doc says.
