Concerned Wife, Psa Rising

Subject: concerned wife, psa rising
Date: 12/17/2007

My husband had prostate removal 1 year ago. His post op psa's have been .07-.07.- and now .14. Our family Dr. was not concerned, he said its fine and recheck in 3 months. I was not comfortable with this so asked for a referral to the cancer center. The Dr. there re-checked it and it was .2. He recommended hormone therapy. Lupron shots every 3 months. Does any one have any experience with this therapy. The Dr. said he will also consider radiation after 2 months of the lupron. Do we just assume that the cancer is back or that it was never "all gone" as the surgeon assured us. We get so many conflicting recommendations from different Drs. that it drives a person crazy sometimes. My husband is 50 yrs old and his psa was 28 prior to surgery and supposedly confined to the prostate. Is the hormorne therapy usually for the rest of his life or just for a period of time. Thanks in advance for any of your replies. I am finding that the best recommendations or advice comes from someone who has been through the experience, they seem to know best. Rose
