Hello everyone, First time on here in quite awhile. I am now 21 months post treatment (SBRT and Firmagon injections). PSA rose from .16 in July 2017 to a high of .77 the next July. the next three...
Glad to hear the treatments are helping in general. My PCa situation is less severe than yours and thought I was over it, except for monitoring a slowly rising PSA. Radiation ended 4/3/17, last...
Hello all, I seem to look to this forum for support and information more than my urologist. So my current question is about residual effects of Firmagon injections. I am 14 months post radiation and...
Thanks to all who have shared so far. I am 57 years old. Similar to in the shop, since the treatments and divorce there was no desire at all for the first six months. Spontaneous arousal never...
Hello All, I was diagnosed 10/16 with the following particulars PSA 6.62 at Dx Two lesions: Gleason 6 and Gleason 7 45 IMRT from 1/17 to4/17 plus 6 months of hormone therapy. 1/17 to 6/17 3 month PSA...
This forum is always more informative than my doctor is. So I am back with the same concern three months after the last PSA test. PSA at DX was 6.63 Normal DRE, Biopsy found 2 of 12 positive cores...

This forum/discussion board has been so helpful a few months ago when I joined, so I have a new concern/topic. I am roughly 8 months post Radiation and my last (of 6) Firmagon shots was June 30th. 3...
Thanks to all for their calming words. I guess that as a 56 year old man who had no symptoms nor any indicators that anything is wrong and was in excellent health and normal function in every area to...
TallAllen, Thanks for the words of encouragement. My Urologist finally got back via email today, and I am not sure how to take it. "While we are concerned about the rise it is still in a good range...
Thanks to In the Shop and Fairwind for replying. In the Shop, your diagnosis, Gleason and treatment plan seem to match mine very closely. I saw that your PSA never rose but post treatment was at 1.9...
Hi, I am new to this forum and never found my situation with an outside search. What is normal or at least acceptable PSA level following Radiation and 6 months of hormone therapy (Firmagon...
