PSA undetectable. One more lupron shot plus, obviously, followups.
Did you/he have prostatectomy?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 6:05 pmThat's great news. I'm in the same situation, so I know how it feels. My brother just had the same surgery I did, and he's waiting to get his first post-op PSA to see how effective it was.
No, both of us had radiation treatment. They attached a cage to the part of my anatomy where the sun don't shine (that was under general anesthetic), and stuck needles through the holes in the cage to get the radioactive material right next to the cancerous spots. They left the needles in place for about a half hour. Then they removed the cage. They did this procedure twice, about three weeks apart.Beebs52 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 6:27 pmDid you/he have prostatectomy?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 6:05 pmThat's great news.

Since your doings are still intact psa readings may be higher than Jeff's, so don't fret too much.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Aug 07, 2023 8:14 pmNo, both of us had radiation treatment.
