PSA under check

I am stage 3 prostate cancer patient and I have done palliative radiotherapy last year June.

My PSA is now under 1.

Is there any possibility of not dieing of this prostate cancer if I can keep my PSA under check like this?

  • Hello Otunba and thanks for your post,

    Every patient's situation is very different and the questions that you are asking are best answered by your doctors.

    You sound like you have had a good response to your treatment which is excellent to hear but it is really only your doctors who can really give you an idea about your prognosis (outlook). This can also be hard for your doctors to predict but they may be able to give you a better idea.

    Have a look at our information on statistics for prostate survival on our website.

    I hope this helps. 

    If you would like to talk any of this through with one of the nurses on the helpline then you are welcome to give us a ring. Our number is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
