I had a Lupron shot back in April and one scheduled for July which was cancelled; PSA was <0.1 and Testosterone 24. It's now been about 6 months and my PSA is 0.1 and T is 267. I expect the oncologist will want to do another infusion with the T being that high (they mentioned needing to keep it below 50-I guess that is a guideline of some sort). I am not sure what to do since my PSA is so low. Any feedback would be appreciated at this point.
Hello!
T being less than 50 is where many consider castration level to be at.
I'd ask since your PSA isn't rising, is there really any reason for another Lupron shot.
I'd ask to wait until it does. Did you have an RP or radiation?
Great points Frank....after all these years I never have known or understood the relationship of a stable low PSA and T increase while on the juice...I will ask!!
Sorry Frank, yes I had RP and salvage radiation in 2005.
