Psa levels

Arryticker,

I've been in Remission since February this year, PSA levels were 0.09, this week I saw my Oncologist for my 6 monthly appointment, PSA up to 0.03

I had the Hormones and Radiotherapy option and as long as my PSA levels can stay between 0 and 2, I don't require any further treatment.  The Oncologist said my PSA levels may rise in 6-8 months when my Testosterone machine starts up again, still getting raging Hot Flushes at the moment.

I'm happy with the levels going up slightly.  I can see how you feel concerned with your PSA levels.

The thing that gets me is how can your doctor say they are normal, when Oncology says not.  I would believe Oncology any day before a normal doctor.

Hope your scan goes ok 

There's bound to be someone else in your situation who has had a Prostectomy and can let you know what happened in their case.

Normally, any questions you fire out, someone has had first hand experience of it.

Hi Arryticker

Yes , it is worrying that it shows an upward trend.  There are a couple of people who post on here who have had surgery and the PC has returned, Hopefully they will post to give some advice.

Hope all is OK

best wishes 

Steve

I had the same problem Arryticker, GP signing of initial an 0.3 reading as normal. Have a read at my profile, it contains the story of my recurrence and treatment. 
I would be asking for treatment options from your oncologist. 
Best wishes, 

I do have a pet scan next Tuesday . Hope after that I get some answers. Thanks for xxx
