I recieved my PSA from the second lab. a bit higher 0.041,but T=537 , FSH=35.6 (very high),LH=20.21(v.high). ED since RP . is there any relation between these markers and PSA progression? best wishes....
Wish you well Dave.thank you so much. Allen, Thanks for the link.Has PSADT any significance after the failure of a secondary therapy as in my case?...
Jerry, As i said before,i use 2 labs at the same time . one paid by my insurance and one is private (paid by me).I always tried my PSA reading be accurate.They both have the same testing...
Thanks David, That is my future plan when PSA reaches 2 or more. what worries me is the sudden rise of PSA from <0.003 for 1 year and then to 0.034 in 3 months ,that is 10 times! I knew I have a high...
Mel, my last T was 557 more than my baseline. paradoxically my DHT was rising while on avodart because ,may be,due to my fast rising T after I stopped HT.I should have doubled my avodart dose at that...
Thanks lupronjim, yes ,I deleted the other post. I really don't want to start HT soon .May be C11 choline pet is my next option .But on what PSA and what happens during that waiting time to cancer...
hi everyone, after one year of HT vacation and almost 1.5 years after my SRT ,where my psa always stayed <0.003. I recieved my april PSA today and it's 0.034. It seems a great jump after only 3...

I am taking Avodart & Metformin for almost one year after SRT+HT. So far no trace of PSA in my blood tests(<0.003).Ican`t tell if they helped ,but none of them had no SE and worth trying. Avodart...
My advice is to take an aggressive path. Surgery with regional lymph nodes removal, followed by radiation+HT.It depends uppon the age of your husband.If he is over 70 you can omit surgery, but keep...
David, You can`t imagine how your posts helped me during my SRT, and not only me. I always pray for you. Thousand thanks! I also wonder about such a low PSA, that is why I always use 2 different...
Ten months after SRT+HT my PSA is still < 0.003. T=556 (20% more than my normal testosterone) This might be due to the Avodart. My medications: Avodart, Metformin(not diabetic),Pomi-T,vitamin D3,...
Mbock, I had almosts the same pathology as your husband, except the GS : 3+4=7 and negative margins. You didn`t mention if your hudband had lymphadenectomy . If yes, and his lymph nodes were...

great news! PSADT is improving. I would suggest you to test his DHT and if >30ng/dl to add Avodart. Best wishes....
correction: DHT from 9.8 to 23ng/dl. Traveller, What is your baseline T? If I were you ,I would have rechecked PSA in another lab with the same equipment. I did this once, while I was on HT when my...
Traveller, We have almost the same pc journey except my G7(3+4).My testosterone recovered so quickly as yours, 349 after only 3 months off-hormone therapy.PSA still<0.003.My next PSA in september. I...

I had my last 3-month shot 4 months ago. I don't feel any change yet. I take Avodart, and this will delay my testosterone recovery.My doctor's estimation- 6-9 months. hugs...
