Burnett1948.Lee70 very similar to my history with almost same starting numbers. I had a RP in 05 and 32 dose of Radiation in 09. My last and first PET scan was about 15 months ago and was clear. My next PSA test is at end of August 17. My last PSA was in Jan17 and was 1.5. My PSA has been doubling at 18 months and is thought to because I am drinking golden milk (turmeric & black pepper) daily. I was told to start hormone treatment when my PSA was .6. After reading your story I wished I had. I will tell you how I get on at the end of August. Best wishes.
Bob had last PSA on the 26/7, but if we knew way back then what we know now, Bob would have chosen more aggressive treatments. The RP was suppose to have cured it, as all the margins were clear, but obviously microscopic cancer cells had already escaped, so now it has become a chronic disease, but I'm happy to say, Bob is doing very well. Thankfully, no side effects, only hot flashes occasionally. Best wishes, Lee
You have to take care care of yourself if you want to take care of the man in your life with prostate cancer. Our new community is a place to share strategies for all aspects caring. Emotional, medical, relationship issues, fear of impending grief, sex, love...everything that caregivers feel and think about, but may not feel comfortable discussing in a forum of men diagnosed with prostate cancer.
