Hi All

I haven’t been on for a while, struggled with HT,

I was just wondering if anyone had PSA bounce after radiotherapy,

how long did it last? did it stabilise after a while .

I ask as mine has increased from .34 to 1.24 over 5 months but less than a year after radiotherapy .

  • Hi Tony  

    PSa bounce is quite normal but if u are still on HT that does make it more complicated.

    I think you need to wait for the next PSA test which should tell you more. Perhaps if a long wait for one u could ask your GP to do one after  3 months .

    Hopefully this is a just a bounce and the next one will level off.

  • The dates were September last year till February this year, results were 0.34, 0.48 1.0 and 1.24,

    My last hormone injection was last June , my testosterone levels are up to 4.7 so I’m hoping that’s why my PSA keeps going up.

    I was told if it goes to 2 I will have scans , I’m hoping it will stabilise, thanks for your replies Thumbsup
