Post surgery pathology showed one "hot spot" on edge of removed prostate.

PSA after 35 days post surgery was 0.13; Dec 29, 2014

PSA 38 days after the 0.13 was 0.15; Feb 5, 2015

Bone scan negative; Feb 17, 2015

PSA 145 days after the 0.13 was 0.19; May 22, 2015

Dr. wanted me to see radiation oncologist; I said I'll just get another PSA after 90 days.

Projected PSADT would be 10 months

Projected PSA time to 0.4 would be 21.5 months

Projected PSA time to 1.0 would be 5 years

I'm leaning toward waiting until PSA reaches at least 0.4 before considering radiation treatment. This would allow maximum recovery from side effects.

PSA rose to 0.22 (persistent) at August 21, 2015

PSADT projected at 10.4 months

Still going to wait until PSA approaches 0.4 before considering further treatments.

After prostatectomy 10/2014, PSA rose from 0.13 to 0.42 in 5/2016. Hormone shot in 6/2016 followed by 33 radiation treatments 8/2016 to 9/2016. Will get follow up PSA 12/19/2016.

PSA rose to 0.28 June 28, 2017

After prostatectomy in Oct 2014 PSA rose to 0.42 ; In Aug 2016 got a hormone shot followed by radiation. 2 years later still rising at 0.75; Dr. says don't worry until 5.0

Dr. says no action needed unless PSA reaches 5.0

When my PSA went from 2.96 to 3.76 over a 6 month period, I was looking at hormone shots. I bought the book "HOW NOT TO DIE" and started a VEGAN diet. Also 3 TBS of flaxseed daily.

6 months later my PSA was 2.66! No hormone shots! GO VEGAN!!
