Heading to Dr. for my quarterly shot of Eligard. I am also on apalutamide as part of a two year trial . I am a year and a half into treatments, including Brachytherapy and EBRT. I have tested < .04 psa for 6 months now despite initial diagnosis of Gleason 9. Everything seems to be gong according to plan.Nevertheless, I am worried that my PSA will start going up. What questions should be asking the doctor ? What can I expect in terms of future symptoms etc. Trying to figure out plan B is all this treatment doesn't work . I am at a Major Cancer Center, 3rd largest in the County.
Thanks

My only advice is for your peace of mind, figure out Plan B if you have to. You have had a therapy that will hopefully be curative. As far as you know today, you will be cured. Living in the present moment is best for you. If you find out later that is not the case, you will take advantage of the best therapies available then for your situation (which may not be available now).
