An update...
Diagnosed 6 months ago, opted for ADT + EBRT, started with Casodex for 3 weeks and Zoladex LA 10.8mg every 12 weeks.
PSA dropped from 87 to 7.74 with Testosterone down to 0.7. That was 3 months ago, yesterday I received by latest blood results PSA up to 9.14 and Testosterone up marginally to 0.8. My onc said to expect PSA to be down to about 1 when I saw him 3 months ago, I see him again tomorrow. I’m aware that there can be a bounce in PSA after radiation, but I wasn’t expecting it before then. I appreciate that an increase from 7.74 to 9.14 is not a big increase, but I’m a bit shell shocked that there has been any increase. I can’t seem to find any reference to an increase this early in primary treatment and can’t help but worry that it may indicate a more aggressive tumour than first thought. Has anybody experienced anything similar? What was the outcome?

The Staging is cT3bNxMx with bilateral extracapsular extension and seminal vesicle involvement. There is no imaging evidence of bone or lymph node disease. However the MRI guided biopsy was assigned a Grade Group 5 result.
I’ve picked out the coffin, they’ll carry me off in!!
