Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / April 2007PSA moving into meter
At last it seems all the ADT has left my body after last Lucrin, Jan 2006. All prior PSA 3 mthly checks were showing <0.01 = undetectable. Blood draw 2 days ago now show PSA @ 0.05. My T is also moving up concurrently and some 'memories' are returning; The Rad Onc dept. says "no cause for alarm or concern", and are prepared to let the PSA to show consistent upward bounces until it reaches 6.0 before intervening with either more HT and/or RT. Other readings/tests on the Blood Map are 'unremarkable'. I'll be seeing the Prof next Wed to discuss in detail. -Please reply to group as my email addr is fake! -Regards CC > At last it seems all the ADT has left my body after last Lucrin, > Jan 2006.

What I wouldn't give for 0.01 for a year without ADT.... sigh.

You and Ron seem to be following the same path. His last shot was Nov. of 2005, so the effects ended Feb. of 2006. He was undetectible for the year and it has now inched from 0.02 to 0.08?....damn, I forget. But he was 0.05 last Sept. and his T was low normal. Anyway, the doctor was really pleased and his thoughts prior to this were to wait till it hit 10 before putting a patient back on HT. So glad to hear you are doing so well. Cheers......Heather thanks for the response/s. -Please reply to group as my email addr is fake! -Regards CC > At last it seems all the ADT has left my body after last Lucrin, > Jan 2006. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -Regards CC Remember CC, for radiation patients, it's not uncommon to have some PSA. Mine (very similar treatment to yours) has been steady at 0.2 for the last year. That's after some scary little bounces up to 1.8. It sounds to me like you're doing great.
