Prostate Cancer worries

I had high dose brachytherapy for my PC in 2008. I'm 81 yoa now. PSA has been climbing for a couple of years now but in summer last year it jumped up tp 29. It has continued to rise and my last reading was 77. I had a bone scan a few months ago which was clear but am booked to have another scan soon.. Medic told me yesterday that best to wait for hormone therapy until cancer appears on bone scan. She didnt mention any option other than hormone therapy.. Any advice or comments gratefully received.

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat community Ianrochdale although I'm sorry for the worries your current situation is causing.

    Hopefully some of our prostate cancer members will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but if it would help to talk things through with someone then do give our cancer nurses a call. They're available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m and they will do all they can to address your concerns and help you figure out what to do next.

    We do have some information about other treatments for prostate cancer on our website, as well as getting a second opinion if that is something you'd like to look in to as well.

    I hope this helps Ianrochdale and we're wishing you all the best with your next scan.

    Kind regards,
