Hi all not posted for a long while.
My husband finished hormone therapy in February 2025 so naturally the PSA is starting to rise due to testosterone will be rising.
However it had reached nadir but he gets psa checked every 3 months.
so most recent test last week shows 0.60 the 3 months before result was 0.3 and the 3 months before that was 0.03.
I appreciate it is still low and they will reinvestigate once it reaches 2.0 but I feel that it appears to be rising rapidly and if it continues to follow previous pattern we will be back to square one within 6 months.
Am I wrong to be feeling or thinking this way.
He was diagnosed initial with locally advanced cancer with seminal vesicles involvement Gleason 8.
he received 20 sessions of radiotherapy and had deceptyl injections for 2 years and aberiterone for 1 year as he couldn’t tolerate the fatigue he came off that early.
I am maybe over worrying and maybe this is normal as he still has his prostate as surgery wasn’t suitable.
any thoughts and advice welcome .
