Hi had posrate removed 2 year ago and now pas has gone to 0.16 going to have salvage radiotherapy has anybody had this before and what symptoms did the have
Hi Alfred. Could you advise what tests you have had to enable a decision to procede with salvage radiotherapy with a pSA of 0.16 ? I have a PSA of 0.1. My consultant advised the next step would be a CAT scan but this couldn't be carried out until the reading increased to 0.4. Thanks
Hi had my posrate out psa after was 0.005 for a year then it started to increase slowly and is now 0.16 had a pet scan and MRI scan which showed nothing so iam have 6 months of hormone therapy and then radiotherapy to the posrate bed hope that helps you .
Hi Alfred had my prostate removed in 2020 after diagnosed with Gleason 8 prostate cancer with no spread , 12 months later PSA started to climb but slowly, put back on Hormone Therapy and 33 sessions of Radiotherapy 3 months later to the Pelvic area. I am nearly 2 years down the road with a negligible PSA and just had my last 3 monthly hormone injection keep positive and your treatment goes well.
