I guess this might be that PSA bounce they talk about with radiation.  They have also been watching a tumor in my ulna that showed up on a bone scan back in July 2017.  ( not a normal place for METS which is a good thing)  It hasn't grown, the Ortho Oncologiist has been doing the wait and see due to I could lose some use of my hand becasue it would be a open biopsy and lots of nerves there. Also there is a risk with my heart disease of having a heart attack under sedation.  Going to have another bone scan in May and make sure nothing else is cropping up.

Good news though I have been working on getting good karma.. I am in a Johnny Cash Tribute band  'Counterfeit Cash" and I came up with the idea of doing benefits Cash for Cancer. All the shows we play at we do 50/50 drawings and the money goes to the ACS, 3 gigs we raise 1500 bucks for the ACS trying to reach the goal of 15,000 by the end of the year..

    PSA Bounce after RT

    It could be PSA bounce. You need to wait for a series of tests to get a conclusion. Still thinking that the tumor at the arm is not PCa.
