Yes that is right. Let's hope for a treatment without any event or incident worth noting.

I completed radiation May 12, I continued to have lower bowl inflammation during the treatments with relief from over the counter drugs. My second shot of Lupron was on May 25. I was informed that during my next Lupron shot is 90 days they will draw for my first PSA since starting this path.

My PSA results after 3 months of treatments <0.1 PSA
and <0.01 free PSA. I think I made the right decision for treatment. Have to meet with both teams soon.
Lupron was stopped after 6 months waiting on testosterone levels.
still fighting the good fight

My PSA after 9 months is <0.03 total.
Meet with urologist next week to cover my numbers. I am not cured but am cautiously confident. The radiation treatment and Lupron effects still linger on but able to do many things I could before the surgery as well. Urination is doing well as long as I am only drinking water, no coffee or a cold beer or soda. I do take a bladder spasm drug daily. Keep fighting the good fight others have larger battles.

Hi again,
Moraly speaking, it is nice seeing the numbers as low as undetectable, but low PSA is expected to occur due to the biochemical castration effects of the Lupron.
You need to confirm the levels of the testosterone to "validade" any level of the PSA when using this marker to check successes. T should be higher than 250 ng/dL.
I wonder why did your doctor test the free PSA. It has no practical meaning in guys without a gland in place.
Great to hear that the side effects are subsiding. It all gets better once T increases. Your newer you has almost "arrived".
Best of lucks in your journey.

My most recent PSA Oct 2, 2023 was again <0.03 my/ml , I will continue with my urologist and a testing cycle of every 6 months until I hit 2 years from the salvage proton treatment. I can not say that I am cancer free but for know I am in a remission.
Donβt let the old man in.
