Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / November 2005Good PSA result
Just got off the phone with my oncologist--my PSA went down! What a relief. (Not that I was nervous about it, (heh, heh, heh.) So he was right in his interpretation--a high PSA is normal for me because of the BPH and it takes a little time for the PSA to go down from the radiation as the effects of the ADT wear off and make it go up a little. I am really pleased with this, and I hope the rest of you receive as good news as this..I also thank you all so much for your support and sharing your knowledge with me.

SignatureJuly 2005 DX Pca, age 75 PSA 26.5 Gleason 7 (4+3) Stage T2a No evidence that the cancer was not confined to a single nodule in the prostate. August 2004 ADT First injection (2 drugs–Lupron + ?) Dec 2004 ADT Second injection PSA 4 April 2005 PSA 2.6 May 2005 HBRT 33 treatments August 2005 Six weeks after radiation PSA 2.9, went up instead of down, possibly because the effects of ADT are still there and the RT hasn't fully kicked in, and a somewhat elevated PSA is normal for me because of my BPH October 2005 PSA 2.63.. Great Stavros. Great news. Keep it up. Ron B. Chicago Excellent, Stavros. Now you can relax instead of waiting the original 6 months for this test, grin. Listen to your wife, OK?? (VBG) I will write you off the ng.....been a bit slow replying lately. Cheers...Heather > Just got off the phone with my oncologist--my PSA went down! What a > relief.

I always listen to my wife. Maybe that's why I'm a little crazy. (Just kidding, but as Zorba said, A man has to be at least a little crazy,) PS To save you the trouble of commenting: he said "a man" because he was a chauvinist pig. > Excellent, Stavros.
