July 2018 diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age of 56
November 2018 radical robot assisted prostatectomy and started hormone injections.
January 2020 started 6 rounds of chemotherapy - isolated during lockdown!
January 2021 started 33 rounds of directed radiotherapy.
PSA undetectable until stopped hormone injections in August 2023.
PSA is now slowly rising - will have a scan when it gets above 0.5, which with current trend will probably be June 2024.
Can anyone advise me about the possible treatments that may be offered? I need to organise to live my life, but this is a bit unknown.
Hi Vairon and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I'm sorry to read that your prostate cancer is returning.
The online community is divided into different support forums so I'm going to recommend that you join the prostate cancer forum as you'll then connect directly with others who have this type of cancer.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
