I’m currently going through radiotherapy for prostate cancer 5 in 15 to go,when I complete my treatment does anyone know what happens after treatment with regards to follow up meetings with doctors and psa tests thanks paul
Hello Paul Paulo100
A PSA test of 0.25 is brilliant!! I've been on HT for almost 3 years and my last one was 0.29!!
You have no details on your profile but for a 65 year old man a PSA of 4.5 is normal.
I don't think they do say you are cancer free but the general rule of thumb is no rises in your PSA after 5 years and that's great.
I am a T3aN0M0 and told I will be on life long testing- I am 68 but if someone is looking after me that to me is fine - It's hard but to me I am being "looked after". If you look at my first post on this thread it shows where I am at with the system.
I think is a personal state of mind - I accept even now - and I am still on treatment I am "cancer free" - I have no idea what the future holds.......
Best wishes - Brian.
