Re: resistant to hormonthrapy

Bitaday and Mike. My PSA recently started rising after almost 20 months on HDT (Eligard). It went from 31 to 0.2 while on HDT but recent went up to 0.8 and then 2.0. I am continuing the Eligard plus Casodex. Recent bone scan was negative. My question to you two: Do either of you suffer from any of the listed symptoms of PC? I have none whatsoever. You would think that something would be biting me by now. Good luck to both of you.
