Hi all, I wondered if anyone has had a similar experience so that we know roughly what will happen next. My Dad has been on hormone injections since last October to control his metastatic prostate cancer (bones). In September his PSA started to rise again. And has gone from 0.2 to 21.0 between September and now, doubling at least each time we had the results. They have put him on abiretarone now. Has anyone been or had family in similar situations? Is the PSA rising that quickly a bad sign? They did a scan and told us it’s more widespread through his bones and lymph nodes. Looking for any similar experiences, as unsure to whether he has many more options for treatment and what this means for his prognosis. Dad doesn’t like to ask too many questions but we would like to know more where we stand. Thank you in advance.
Hi and welcome to the community. Sorry to hear about your Dad, but great to know you are supporting him. I see you have found the Prostate Group and posted your question there. I am sure some of the group members will have answers for you there. I hope all goes well. Best wishes.
