Prostate Diaries 
Hi
I am wondering if you could give me a second opinion on my
prostate cancer prognosis.
Here are my stats:
Age 50
August 2008 PSA 17.2 with gleason score of 9, T3 tumor
December 2008 radical prosectomy
May 2009 beam radiation, after radiation PSA 0.12, six months later 0.33, then one month after that PSA was 1.1.
October 2010 have started hormone therapy …Lupron 3 mos suspension. PSA numbers have dropped now to 0.05. How long can I expect the lupron to continue working? Also, should I stay on Lupron after it stops working, and what is my life expectancy? Thank you in advance for your opinion.
Sincerely,
Ken

Ken,
I appreciate you valuing my opinion in your situation, however these questions are best discussed with your doctors. I might add that PubMed.gov has a large volume of case studies that are similiar to yours that might give you insight. As I have always said in previous posts…it is very important that you have a urologist or oncologist that you trust and knows the specifics of your disease to evaluate the questions you have posed. I advise that you take their counsel. I wish you well. John McHugh
