hi - had focal cryotherapy in Jan 2017 - nadir 0.57 after but has now gradually risen to 2.45 - had 2 clear MRI ‘s but just had one and waiting results again - anyone had similar experiences 

thanks

  • Stavros , sorry your PSA is rising. It sounds like further treatment may be necessary.

    i don’t have experience of cryotherapy but know if PSA after radiotherapy rises 2 or more above Nadir it means recurrence. 
    I am not sure anyone here has experienced cryotherapy but hopefully someone will come along.

    Let us know how the scan results pan out.

    Best wishes,

    As Ido says, not that likely to find someone here that has had Cryo.

    Wait and see what the latest MRI says, Psa  at 2.45 may be too low to show anything.

    The good news is that if u do need further treatment I believe u can can have further Cryo or Radiotherapy.

    Further treatment doesn't sound that urgent as things  stand at the moment.

    many thanks for your comments - yeah not many seemed to have had fical cryotherapy so difficult to assess any small psa rises - pretty sure MRI will be clear again
