PSA doubling

Hello, after 3 mri guided laser treatments at Sperling, my husbands psa rose to 9, he then had Dr Kaplans 45 day radiation treatment on what was left of his prostate in Florida which was condensed into 5 heavy doses.

His psa then stayed at 0.4 for 3 years.

Last year his psa jumped to 1.8, now this year last week result showed it’s just under 3 at 2.93.

So doubling every year.

We recently moved to western Colorado but are willing to travel for treatment.

Can someone recommend a urologist in Colorado or Salt Lake for newer treatments?

Or just new treatments anywhere?

Thank you

At this point, what is a urologist going to do for him? I suggest he see Neeraj Agarwal, an oncologist at Huntsman. He is lead investigator on many clinical trials.

Not what you're looking for?
