Starting ADT
So, after
prostatectomy
in 2013 and SRT in 2015, my psa continues to climb. The last 6 month rise was from 0.82 to 1.80.

PSA Testing before and after a Prostatectomy
Before having a PSA Test it is recommended not to ejaculate for 48 hours before the test, what about after a
Prostatectomy
....do you have the same constraints or doesn't it matter as you have no Prostate??

PSA after Salvage Radiation
I had a
prostatectomy
in July 2015 and my PSA fell to around .04 following surgery. It has steadily increased over 5 years to .42. I have had a PSMA scan and nothing shows up. In December I decided to go ahead with Salvage Radiation Therapy and completed my 39th treatment in early February 2021.

Whole pelvic salvage radiation after positive lymph nodes have been found - clinical trial
https://www.prostatecancer.news/2017/12/salvage-whole-pelvic-radiation-after.html When
prostatectomy
reveals positive pelvic lymph nodes, they will confirm that it is only regional with an Axumin scan but allow PSMA and C-11 Choline too.

Leg Pain while on Lupron and Zynga
I was diagnosed with PC in 2011,
prostatectomy
, 4 rounds of radiation, and ADT. In January there were met in my hips and spine. I'm taking the ADT medications Lupron and Zynga. Over the last ten days, I have been experiencing leg pain in both legs.

Getting ready for clinical trial
I was randomized into the additional treatment arm of the trial, and I didn't want the
prostatectomy
so I picked the radiation. This last Monday I spent almost an hour in the gynecologist chair, with an ultrasound wand in my exit port while two ladies poked needles in my perineum.

Break after only 12 months of Eligard.
Three months after my radical
prostatectomy
, I had a PSA of 0.22 and three months later, 0.21. My oncologist then started me on an 18-month Eligard treatment. After the 4th of 3-month injections (my PSA had dropped to zero) the oncologist said that I didn't need any more.

Prostatectomy and Ejaculation
I'm having my
prostatectomy
tomorrow. I asked my doctor if it was ok for me to have sex before surgery and he said no problem. But I'm wondering if I should have an ejaculation 24 hours before surgery. Does anybody know if it is a problem?

Recurrent Cancer??
Had PSA come back at .3 two years after
prostatectomy
retest showed .1 then a week later <.1. Urologists seems to think it very odd! Any ideas or suggestions?

Need Advice
I had a
prostatectomy
, 35 rounds of radiation, and a yrs worth of Lupron. My yr was up last October, and at my check up in January , I was undetectable . I'm back in the gym, lifting weight, and like to lift. I don't know the in and outs of why it's so important, other than the obvious.

Where have you gone Joe testosterone?
In November of 2019 my testosterone level was 409 even after a robotic
prostatectomy
4 months earlier. Then I began a year of ADT therapy that included 37 sessions of radiation to the pelvic area. During the year on ADT my PSA became undetectable as my testosterone dropped to <6.

Rising PSA following Radiation
I’m 71, in good health otherwise, and a
prostatectomy
seems drastic. Thank you for any information you can share.
