Lupron and Casodex 2008 Gleason 9 (5+4), then intermittent and went off meds 9/2009 but cancer came back 12/2009. . IF the PSA is set in the teens, I'm wondering if it's destroying bones even if it's...
IF the psa is high ....like in the 30's ...and goes to the teens on treatment, does it mean the cancer could still be doing destructive things to the bones? In other words, does having a high PSA...

Thank you for sharing. My husband's red and white count are below the normal range but the docs don't say anything about it. I guess they figure there's not much choice here cause the hormones are...

My husband's PSA has been reading <0.1 after his 40 radiation and being on triple hormonal blockage. I see others reporting PSA's as low as 0.01 so I'm wondering if we should be getting another lab...
My husband had a PSA of 33 and a Gleason 9 this past summer. The urologist did not want to do a prostectomy because of the high probablity of lymph metastasis. The complications of the prostectomy...
Thanks for sharing. You've confirmed what I thought - about it being very deep and painful. Maybe I'll try one session....
I am thinking of seeing a rolfer for my shoulder/neck/back. I don't want my ribs or my legs touched though because they are too tender, but I feel my myofascia could use some "ironing out" on the...
