Dear Rosie ---
I STRONGLY agree with other replies - do NOT let your doctors wait to start combination hormone AND radiation treatments....
I had a RP operation 4 years ago. For first two years my PSA readings were modest 0.05, 0.05, 0.05, 0.09, 0.09. However in last 2 years have gone 0.10, 0.15, 0.16.... I am already concerned as for Best Results (better chance of a CURE, not just stalling the progress of prostate cancer) the patient should start radiation treatments after unsuccessful surgery while his PSA readings are still in the 0.20 to 0.40 zone... So your husband should DEFINITELTY (as anyone can guess, no absolutely sure answers !) be starting radiation treatments NOW or VERY SOON. Please do not let any one or two doctors convince you otherwise. YOU want to maximize your husband's chance for as many years as possible - take control of this situation now ! Let us know, Dick
