Hi We have just returned from hospital visit. Spoke to our oncology nurse who gave us results after 20 days radiology and 4/ 3month prostape injections my PSA is undetectable 🙂 I still have hot sweats fatigue and tiredness but this will reduce over 9 months. I will be happy to share my experience.

Congratulations.

It's difficult to work out your timeline from your post. It would be good to put your PSA test results and other tests with dates in your bio, and your treatment dates.

It sounds like you just finished your prostap. You still have a prostate with working cells which will generate PSA as the effect of the prostap wears off, so it's totally expected that your PSA will rise. If it's zero now (referred to as your post-RT nadir), you hope it stays below 2 in the future, which would be considered a successful treatment.

Sounds like an incredibly fast turnaround Dave, well done indeed. I was wondering what was your starting PSA?
