Hi all I had my latest results and was told another test in August 17 and if my results raise then I have to have something done can anyone tell me what his could be also they say normal range 0-3.99 ug/L are they concerned that its not levelling out. T3B M1 M0 Gleason 5+4 in 24/25 cores. Neo adjuvant hormonal deprivation then external beam radiotherapy to prostate with boost to lymph nodes Nov 2011. If anyone has any information for me it would be appreciated
Hello madworld.
Can't answer your question so bumping you in case somebody else can
Mad world, what is your latest PSA and what was the last one?
Okay so since you finished HT in 2014 your PSA has steadily climbed, which is not entirely unexpected as you still have a prostate which will produce small amounts of PSA. It doesn't seem to me that your levels are worryingly high yet but the rate at which it is rising is quite fast so my guess is that they were just warning you that if it goes too high too fast then you may need some more treatment. Ideally they would offer you a scan before deciding whether or not to start treatment again and to help inform which treatment to offer you.
Ok thanks very much I have another test in August but will be chatting with my doctor on Thursday 11th may and pick his brains. thanks again Richard
