Welcome! Reading your profile, it seems that you failed a prostatectomy and was put on Lupron, but have not had salvage radiation.

Perhaps add to your profile the pathology results and your PSA after your prostatectomy.

From the limited info you've provided so far, it sounds like you are confusing your PSA for your cancer.

I don't see the answers there. It matters, or I wouldn't ask:

Post-prostatectomy Gleason score? T stage (T2 or T3)? positive margins? PSA pattern before Lupron?

Thanks. Seems you have to be your own advocate when dealing with prostate cancer treatments.

Yes, doctors are still searching for the answers, so working along side them is best. I had a nurse at City if Hope ask me if I had a medical background. I told I didn't, but would probably get an honorary medical degree by the end of it.
