After my husband's prostectomy and adjuvant radiotherapy we thought we'd got it beat but five years later the PSA Has crept up he is currently on daily casodex( bicalutamide) and three monthly Prostap but still the figures keep creeping up.
I fully understand the significance of doubling time but I was wondering if at any stage there should be a decision about whether the current treatment is still effective .
He went to the GP today to get his prostap and came back with the news that his PS A is 2.5 from2.2 last November. Now I know that is not doubling but I just wondered if it is significant .
He also came back to a letter postponing his appointment which was to have been this Thursday until march - so frustrating but I guess they're not concerned
