So its been two years on a Lupron holiday and just started to have rising PSA. A great holiday it was. PSA is still low at .03 but will need to monitor how fast the doubling time is. I am not going...
So sorry to hear your news. I had a PSA of around 12 and did the RRP and after about 7 weeks I had a PSA of 9.41. Doc said he was shocked because he knows he got it all. Did another PSA test and it...
mattamx, I feel much better than I did on Lupron. Hot flashes are almost non-existent and I have my brain back quite a bit. I hoped to get testosterone back but that is like a deal with the devil I...
So my last Lupron shot was in July of last year. I just got my PSA results and I am still <.01. I don't know how long this will last but I am enjoying the ride. Still don't have any signs of...
Now going on 9 months since my last Lupron shot and test results are <.01 undetectable. I don't think I am even producing testosterone yet. Maybe won't even be able again. Results make me happy...
Tall Allen, no I have not had T checked yet but will absolutely request it for the next visit. Is it just part of the blood draw for PSA or is there more to it?...
So my last 3 month Lupron shot was in mid July. At the last appointment I had, my PSA was still undetectable at <.01. I have to say I don't feel any different than when I was on Lupron full time. I...
I am not a doctor and I only know what I have experienced or have read here on these forums but I have seen where they are questioning the practice of not doing surgery for people that are metastatic...
Tall Allen, See that is where I get confused. If pathology showed margins clear and showed no lymph node involvement then why blast the area with radiation blindly. However if it is there one would...
Tall Allen, The urologist who did the surgery felt no use to do radiation because the pathology was all negative margins, lymph nodes, etc. Scans were done and nothing showed even though it was a...
I guess I am just lucky. Never was before this but I take it. Diagnosed with Gleason 8 with terciary 5 present. Supposedly successful RALP and margins and lymph node negative. About 7 weeks post...
Oh my stay calm. .09 is a small number. I had a follow-up PSA of 9.4 and then 9.61. I am now on a Lupron holiday and we are not even going to react to PSA until it hits 5.0. Take the time to find out...
Yesterday was a day of poking and scanning but now ready to take a Lupron holiday. Doctor agrees that it is best. Over two years on Lupron and the SE's are going to keep worsening my health probably...
Sorry all. The PSA test was taken 7 weeks post surgery. PSA at time of surgery was around 12ish. Doctor was shocked at the high PSA of 9.41 after surgery with no signs of spread. Retest resulted in...
So this is taken from the surgical pathology report. The original biopsy report said I was Gleason 9 but the doctor told me to be happy because it turned out to be 8. That being said, with the note 2...
So I feel so alone sometimes. Part of belonging to these sites is to find others like yourself and to get better information. I had RP in May of 2015. . I was 58 years old. At the time I was very...
