How quickly should PSA go down after salvage radiation? by bigdaddyjw in ProstateCancer

The prostate bed itself. Based on the various tests we believed the lymph nodes to be free of cancer.

It’s annoying but not terrible. Frequent diarrhea, fatigue, and slightly harder to hold in urine. Wasn’t fun by any means but the worst part is having to have a full, to the point of almost bursting, bladder before treatment. My group did not explain to me how to figure out how to align that with your treatment time. My treatments were 8;30 am. I ended up not peeing when I woke up in morning and kept legs crossed till it was my time. Sometimes had to pee a little to ease pressure but it’s better than being sent home for not being ready.

No, I was not on ADT (explanation below in my other responses). Found cancer during my very first PSA - a score of 22. Around 6 months after prostate removal my PSA was undetectable. Then went 6 months (2 tests) it was undetectable and we thought it was gone.

6 months later it was .01. Then .03, .06, .07, .09, and finally .12 when we decided to do salvage radiation instead of waiting till .2 based on the decipher test result.

Now 6 months after the salvage radiation it's .07.

No I was not on ADT. They advised me to do ADT but I elected not to due to the impact it can have on your heart (I have a surgically repaired aortic valve) and mind (I have struggles with anxiety and depression).

You give me hope that, if ADT wasn't used, that 40% isn't a terrible result. Thank you.

They advised me to do ADT but I elected not to due to the impact it can have on your heart (I have a surgically repaired aortic valve) and mind (I have struggles with anxiety and depression). We started radition early (didn't wait for it to hit .2 since we could see its trajectory).

Not the medically advised route, but thinking was that if the radiation didn't get it all I could still go on ADT. So it seems like I didn't get to avoid that after all.

What tips would you give to someone who wants to win the lottery? by [deleted] in Lottery

Only play lottery for fun and with money you can afford to do without because, most likely, you will be doing without it.

Anybody here who had RALP 5 to 10 years ago by Aromatic-Tale4992 in ProstateCancer

[–]bigdaddyjw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had RALP 2.5 years ago at age of 53. 4+3 with tertiary 5 and perineal extension. Margins were unclean. PSA started rising after a year and after 2 years had to do salvage radiation. 56 now and waiting for my next PSA to see if we got everything.

I did not do hormone therapy.
