Rise in psa

[breakthecycle]

My brother was diagnosed w 4+3 in June 2017

He started hormone treatment in about Sept 2017

His psa was .1. Then .3333. Latest .59

Is there chance can bounce down on next one

Did he have advanced PCa? Where were his metastases and how many? Was ADT the only therapy he had?

[breakthecycle in reply to Tall_Allen]

No scans were given. Insurance turned down. Had radiation and ADT.

So he did not have advanced PCa (I was misled by your posting on an APC forum. No matter.). He had curative treatment for localized PCa. He may be having a benign bounce, especially if he has a history of prostatitis. He will just have to monitor his PSA every 3-6 months to see where it goes.

Thank you very much. He did not have a history of prostatitis. I added to the site his history to the best of my knowledge. I use to follow you on Healing well.

Thanks for the extra info. This site works a little differently.

(1) This is a separate forum for patients with advanced PCa (metastatic or recurrent). To post on the forum for other patients, like your brother, go to:

healthunlocked.com/prostate...

(2) There is a profile that comes up when we click on your name. To add your brother's info to your profile, click on "My feed" at the top left. Then under "breakthecycle" you will see the words "Update profile." Click on it. You should be able to copy and paste his entire profile from your post.

Thank you

Tan Allen, I do not know why my posts all end up back on the advanced one. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

Hello, Just wondering if Tan Allen is still on this site?
