  • Hi Paul,

    Like you I was diagnosed with prostate cancer with a psa of 70 about six years ago. I also had two years on hormone therapy and 37 radiotherapy sessions, and my psa came down after treatment had eneded to 0.01  Now four years after all treatment has ended my psa is slowly rising, Six months ago it was 1.4 but a few weeks ago it had for some reason come down to 0.91 but the overall trend is upwards as my oncologist said it would. He doesnt expect it to rise to more than 3.5

    Hope your team are able to bring this back down again. Please let us know how you get on. Sending best wishes your way, Brian.
