PSA Rising again

Hi again.  Hope I am posting this in the right place.  I had just used to how the other site worked and now I am having to start all over again!!

 

Dad received his latest PSA test results today and it's not good news.  His PSA has now risen to 10.3.  I have suggested that Mum & Dad ring and speak to the MacMillan Nurse but again they are not keen to do so.  They are hoping to hear something from their GP and his next treatment is not for nearly a month.  I don't suppose there is much the nurse can say but I would like them to have some reassurance and positivity as they are about to celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary and they are having other family problems.  They really don't need the extra stress.  The consultant said that if the PSA goes up 20 they will review his treatment.  Are they likely to try other HT or something else??

It's usual to check the testosterone level is actually at or below castrate level with a rising psa. This can be done alongside the next psa test.
