Had my prostate removed 4 yrs ago and a yr ago my PSA started rising slowly.This April I had 20 R/T sessions on the prostate bed which has failed to cure or even control PSA levels as my most recent test shows a further increase now to 1.62 from 0.01 following surgery and 0.48 pre R/T
I have and never had any symptoms associated with prostate cancer other than an elevated PSA level
My oncologist now has advised a PET scan to see if anything shows up.If some spots or areas can be seen I can apparently have some more R/T on those areas.
Should that not be effective I would be recommended hormone therapy in tablet form presumably.
I am quite fit and healthy an in my late 60's
Has anyone been in a similar situation and if so what did you experience and can anyone offer advice as I am getting a little concerned as to the best way forward.Thank you
