  • Hello Plasticman and thanks for your post,

    Every patient is treated very individually and it is hard to be too specific particularly as we are not involved in your care and know what has happened before.

    We have some information on our website about what happens if your prostate cancer comes back. You may find that your PSA settles down and sometimes doctors like to see if this happens first before they rush in with more scans or treatments.

    If it does continue to cause you concern then do go back and discuss this with your GP

    You are welcome to ring and chat this through with the helpline nurses. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine.
