Post RT PSA looking good but "T" spiked

[ezhoe]

Just got done with 44 sessions of Tomotherapy on 12/27/18 also been on eligard (6 mo) since 8/28/18 had a scheduled lab at the VA on 1/10/18 (unrelated to PC) but they tested T and PSA anyway. psa is 2.36 it was 22+(not bad).. but T is 236. so T is creeping up too early it seems. the eligard knocked the T down to 39 in less than a month. now at 4.5 months its on the rise.. is it possible that eligard "shot it's wad" so to speak. T is now about the same # as pre HT.. weird. I'm not going to ask for a retest because my scheduled follow up will be in a couple months anyway. any insight is appreciated. Ed

I would get a retest.

thanks for the reply I am looking for a lab right now in my area. been researching this last night and today and seems this just don't happen.. it is extremely rare for "T" to jump back up in 5 months after a 6 month shot,, but what no one has explained, is what does it mean in the big scheme of things if it does jump back up. weird.

Lab error or you didn't get a 6 month dose but maybe a 3 month dose.
