Hi all, my 92 year old father has prostate cancer, because of his age it has been decided that no treatment will be offered. His PSA is now reading 40 which is 3 points up from July. This is high, but does it really mean anything?
When I was diagnosed my psa was 70. I felt perfectly well and the only way my prostate cancer was diagnosed is because when I heard water running in our metal sink, I had to run to the loo.
I am no medical man but I would have thought they might offer hormone therapy. I was given this and it brought my psa right down to 3.18 before I started radiotherapy. So it is a good treatment but there may be reasons why they arent offering this.
