Psa 11 And No Identifiable Cancer Posted: 12-10-05 21:00pm
In 1994 I had radiotherapy for prostate
cancer. Psa went down to 1.9 and started
to rise slowly. Have had biopsys done 5
times in the last 7 years and all have
been negative. Also have had petscans
and bone scans and all have been negative.
Psa is rising more rapidly now and is
11. Had exhaustive biopsy of the
prostrate with 26 fragments taken all
negative. Had a new petscan which was
also negative. Took antibiotics for 4
weeks and the psa remained 11 so no
prostatitus. My doctor does not know
what to do. Should I take casodex for 30
days to see if the psa goes down. If the
casodex makes the psa go down does that
mean that I have some metastisis of the
cancer or does it mean that casodex
interfered with the psa. What should I
do? I am very worried.
