Re: PSA spike after radiation

Hi Steve

I think we communicated on the Cyberknife site during your treatments. I was starting my treatments in december. Pre treatments PSA 5.7, 3 mo. 2.4 , now just got 6 mo. at 1.7. So your 9 mo test is 300 % higher. Please let us know as soon as you can and hope you get some clarity from your Dr.

Re: PSA spike after radiation

Hi John,

Glad you're getting some good PSA numbers there. Keep it up!

I saw my RO earlier this week. He thinks my spike is either a PSA "bounce" or perhaps there's still cancer there. We're going to check the PSA again in a few months and go from there. If it's high again, we may do some image scans.

I spoke with another RO who is an acquaintance, he thinks it's simply a spike and will go back down, but we'll see.


Wish me luck!

Thanks.

Steve
