hi, just after some confirmation. Am I right in thinking that when starting with a high psa on diagnosis it's not as important what the psa falls to but how quickly it changes? Dad's was 260 last year and went down to a low of 11. Is now up to 19.3 last time and 19.5 now. Anyone's thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.
They were done at both injections of decapeptyl so 3 months apart. There's been no more talk of chemo although he is scheduled for an appointment with the oncologist on Monday. He recently had radiotherapy for his back pain and is on the decapeptyl and bicalutamide.
Hes had very bad pain higher up his back to the point he had to go to hospital today. They have kept him in and done scans so we are waiting now to see if it's cancer related or a clot in the lung. Very worrying.
