Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 FWIW -- My GP (who had prostate cancer) is in a similar situation -- .. . . surgery, .. . . followed a PSA rise, .. . . followed by IMRT, .. . . followed by a continuing (but slow) rise in PSA. _His_ doctor said: .. . . We'll wait till the PSA reaches 10, then do intermittent ADT. That hasn't happened, yet. I suspect that there's no " standard protocol " for this situation. So study-up on the alternatives. > > I was diagnosed 3/07 at age 53 Gleason 6 (3+3) , 2Tc, PSA 7.4. Had Perineal Prostatectomy - 5/22/2007 no change in pathology and post PSA went to 0.51 in 6/07, to 0.28 8/07, then 0.41 11/07, and 0.54 12/07. Uro had me go through 33 IMRT treatments from 1/08-3/08 and PSA got to 0.1 by the end of 08. Through 2009 it has slowly risen from 0.12 to 0.17 and this week to 0.24. I haven't talked to my Uro yet, but he was holding to the 'wait and see' theory. Just wondering what the groups' thoughts are on what and when should my next steps be? > > Thanks > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
