Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / March 2008Annual report #11
Just a brief history: First ever PSA test in January 1997 was 45+. Bone scan OK. Lymph nodes at surgery on March 5, 1997 OK. PSA tests each three months for three years <0.1. When PSA rose to almost 2 started on Lupron and later added Casodex. <0.1 for three years then PSA rose a little, dropped Casodex, and since then PSA has remained at <0.1. Next appointment with Dr. on April 8. So here I am 11 years later. Major health issue right now is jet lag (lasts about 5 days) as we just returned Monday from 2 weeks in Italy-- we spent two weeks in Switzerland last August. In June I will have my 80th birthday and a couple of weeks later celebrate our 58 wedding anniversary.

If you have the time to tell, I'd be interested in knowing your post surgery gleason score and also the dynamics of your PSA rise from <0.1 to 2.0 - how long did that climb take? The success of your string of treatments speaks for itself but I wonder, was salvage radiation ever considered at PSA=2? All the best to you.
