My doctor says PSA is not important at this time. Scan is important.

Not my treatment is in the Czech Republic. I think it is almost no difference in treatment.

Thanks,I took prednisone, thanks,I think that was part of my problem,I stoped for a couple of weeks,mo put me back on 5 mg a told me to taper down over three weeks,I am starting to feel better

Are you taking prednisone? It will help with aches, if not take an anti inflammatory. These treatments are usually cumulative. Get your rest!

I also take Prednisone 10mg daily. It's even worse if you don't take Prednison ... or forget.
