Unfortunately, with Irv, it's never a single increase. When he was in the hospital, over the last two weeks, his PSA had gone from .04 to .09 and now, a week and a half later, it's already at .12. I...
:( I wish somebody had some input on this. Has anybody been sick with anything before which effected their PSA after prostatectomy? I just wish there were some answers for me....
My hubby, who has incurable prostate cancer (after failed prostatectomy), and has been on a 2nd round of triple blockade hormone therapy, has just gotten out of the hospital after suffering from a...
Sorry for the delay in my response. For the past 3 months, Irv's PSA has seemed to have bottomed out at .05. We checked and, yes, it is definitley not <.05 Irv has an appointment with his doctor in a...
My husband, who had a failed prostatectomy in 2010, started his first round of ADT3 in February, 2011. He managed to get down to <.02 and he came off of the hormone therapy to take a break in...
My husband is on triple blockade hormone therapy...2nd round of intermittent treatment. During the first round, after 6 months, his PSA was down to .05 and kept going down consistently until it hit...
I read all of the posts here and I'm still rather confused. However, I realize that my husband has reason for concern. He had a radical prostatectomy in November, 2010. His PSA went from about 30,...
My hubby, Irv, is on triple blockade androgen deprivation therapy. He was on Zoladex, Bicalutamide and Avodart for a full year (4 injections in total). He started his "off cycle" in mid-February and...
How do you explain the patient on triple blockade hormone therapy who's DHT remains well within the normal range? I'm really confused. My husband failed his radical prostatectomy which he had...
Except I'm in Canada.......
As for my hubby, Irv, his PSA was around 30 before surgery back in November, but, post-op, it was only down to 1.12 and then, within less than 2 months was at 2.19. We're in Canada and we fought for...
I'd really like to know how these men are doing now...and other's who've been on triple blockade hormone therapy for an extended period of time. Rhonda...
Alldaychemist doesn't ship to Canada but there's a sister website called reliablerxpharmacy.com. My concern is that Canada will wise up to them too and then our products will never arrive....
Do you need a prescription?...
Problem is, there seems to be a very small chance that the cancer is confined to the prostate bed, so large risk for a very little chance of success....
We were told that radiation might cause Irv to be in the hospital for 5 weeks and radiation wouldn't, then, be able to be completed....or, even worse, he might end up with a "bag" for the rest of his...
Thank you, all, for your very helpful input. Tatt2man, we are, in fact, dealing with Princess Margaret Hospital. Dr. Fleshner did the surgery and the oncologic team discussed the possibility of Irv...
Purgatory, we know about the adjuvant therapy....and it won't be radiation for Irv because of his history of ulcerative colitis. The risk is too high for the very low chance that the radiation will...
Irv just got back an updated PSA...which we didn't like at all. Since the last PSA done on January 4th, with a result of 1.19, it has gone up to 1.71 as of February 1, less than one month. So, after...
My husband is 51 and had an open radical prostatectomy (nerve sparing and nerve grafting) on November 9th, 2010, after a biopsy showed that he had 10/10 cores positive, peri-neural invasion, Gleason...
Having difficulty with my husband's PC, especially after having the pathology report. My hubby is young and had no symptoms. We thought he was the picture of health. Now, he's slowly recovering after...
