Prostate Cancer Survivors

 

YANA - YOU ARE NOT ALONE NOW

PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT SITE

 

 

This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer.
There are only four rules:

  • No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
  • No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
  • No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
  • Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making

Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.

Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.

Re: Rising PSA After Brachytherapy - Benign Bounce or Recurrence

M. Huq:
I am a PCa warrior like yourself. A rising PSA following first- line treatment is always worrisome. A trend like you describe is especially troubling.

In your shoes the very least I would do is insist on more frequent blood draws preferably every thirty days ( and certainly no less often than every two months).

If your RO is unsupportive in this respect it may be time for a second opinion
Best wishes Don O.
