My age does not factor in at all. My only major consideration is to live as long as possible for my 11 yr old daughter....
Tall Allen; Winning strategy .... I was replying to George's suggestion to do intermittent ADT now. As for SBT/RT now after 2.5 yrs of Lupron, the question becomes can the dormant PCa migrate out of...
My SE's are not too bad except for weight gain. I prefer not to change a winning strategy. Maybe at 3 yrs I will reconsider. But I do know this path may make the castrate resistant strain easier to...
Still undetectable. Not in Bangkok anymore. We are in Florida now for 2 years....

After my Open RP [April 2014] with ECE, but good pathology, I refused RT and waited until PSA started rising which took about 15 months. I then went on Lupron and at 26 months now. I am wondering if...
Since it took 5 years for your Post RP PSA to rise, it does perfectly fall in to the Dx that RT could give you a cure. It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity. Since your IBS is a serious...
Can anyone report SRT success after Post RP BCR with PSA > 0.2 ?? Prefer to hear about those with SRT and no HT but want to hear about SRT + HT results too. ===================== 2014 3 April open RP...
I believe this 40 number assumes one is starting from an undetectable PSA level of 0.01. But if the beginning number is say .3, the number of doublings to metastasis or death would be much less. And...
His Gleason must be 6+6 to survive 4 yrs with no symptoms in spite of extensive mets at Dx. Chances are he will make another 4 yrs if that is the case. Some say GS6+6 will rarely take anyone down. I...
Does PSADT after RP biochemical recurrence decrease [get shorter / worse] with time ? I am trying to calculate how long I can wait before starting HT. I am hoping my PSADT remains level at 8.7...
Why would you think that? Why wouldn't you try SRT next? [/quote] I think I am systemic because ....1/ I missed DRE's for almost 3 years [see history above]. So my ECE+ had lots of time to migrate....
RP April2014 Pathology; GS4+4, 152 gr, Neg Margins ECE+ SVI- LN- Vasc- My post RP PSA at 6 months = 0.224 and 9 months 0.29 PSADT is 8.7 months I was ECE for 2 years or more before surgery. With a...
Pratoman You are quite fortunate compared to many of us. I would give anything to have your stats. GS3+3 is so slow moving. If you have not gone ECE you can do an mpMRI or Color Doppler Ultrasound to...
My RP was ECE+ and GS4+4. So that suggests spreading. But LN-, SV- and Vasc- all suggest it never got out. I am thinking the itching means it is now systemic....
I have high post RP PSA = 0.29 and rising with PSADT = 8 months. For several months now I have full body itching. Back, arms, upper legs, hands, etc. It often takes me 2 hours to get to sleep. During...
128 Congratulations on finishing and the undetectable PSA What are your basic stats and history ? I never saw them in the 4 pages of posts. Thanks You did not do HT along with this SRT ? Why ? Are...
John; Thanks for your excellent suggestion It is my understanding that C11PET scans are not sensitive enough to pick up mets until PSA is above 1 or 2. I am at 0.29 right now so I have to use...
Doug You say .... "I do want to do SRT as I feel it's travelled out side the bed." If you feel the PCa is outside the Prostate/Pelvic bed then doing SRT will ........ not get any PCa that is already...
I am considering doing Post Open RP SRT because my PSA at 3,4 and 6 months was 0.224, 0.247, 0.29 Both high and rising. Pathology Report .... GS 4+4, SemVes clear and 20 Lymph nodes all clear No...
