Hi all!

Dx April 2014 at 56 yrs old

PSA was 4.82. Gleason 6, and 2nd opinion Gleason 3+4=7.

Brachytherapy August 2014. PSA down to .85 March 2015.

PSA up to 3.88 March 2016, 4.33 March 2017 and 6.12 Nov 2017.

Oncologist has ordered an Auxmen Pet Scan. Awaiting schedule now. Obviously, need results before discussing treatment, however, likely approach if mets discovered would be Lupron shot plus Zytiga. Sound right?? Comments welcome. Best to all.

Good Morning LF27,

Please see my bio for treatment history.

Suggest you ask Med Onc about triple blockade of Lupron, Casodex, and Avodart. Casodex usually given first to prevent PSA flare.

Plus Zytiga/prednisone combo.

Results of Axumin scan will let you know if has gone to lymph nodes or bone.

Good news is that you have many treatment options and paths and many years ahead!

Best wishes. Never Give In.

Mark, Atlanta

Most welcome to our group!

I can hardly add anything more to the lovely and meaningful words of Dr.WHO.

Surely a CURE is well within your sight.

My best wishes!
