After declining surgery when aged 71 and not being as eminently  suitable
for Brachy Therapy, as my Uro. first thought, when a small congenital cyst
was detected on my prostate during internal ultra-sound, I had conformal
Radio Therapy towards the end of 2001.  My PSA was 28 (apparently brought
down from 34 by Flowmax during the previous 3 months)  and Gleeson scale 3.
Since then, until May last year, my PSA has been fluctuating between 1.3 and
1.8 but 2 months ago it had risen to 2.8 and now it is 3.1.  In case the
cancer has come back I am taking a keen interest in options for applicable
further treatment and appreciate that Cryo and HIFU may be two of them but
have yet to find out if Robotic Prostatectomy is.  My Uro. has intimated
that if the upward trend continues he would start with Hormone Therapy and a
biopsy.
Any similar experience/comments/etc would be much appreciated.
Akira.
