Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 if I have the hormone treatment (casodex 2 years) and imrt radaition (8 weeks) i will have some side effects some worse than others. although nothing is for sure...there is a chance that it might not work. so I have not made a decision on treatment because i have never felt better in life. understanding if i do go through with the treatment i will have problems but no one knows when. what's the problem with treating symptoms as they come. who knows when they will come or if they will appear. it's sounds like a guess and a maybe but ulitmatley i allow the doctors to make me sick because of what might happen. makes alot of sense ? NO ! why does the psa seem to rise after treatment ? I spoke with a guy my age who stated he had 8 psa and 8 gleason. he had surgery and then hormone treatment and radiation and finally a castration and he still has his psa checked...why ? like me he is single with no children....there is more to life (FOR ME) than just being able to wake up. ALL COMMENTS GOOD BAD WILL BE ACCEPTED. can i hear from someone who has had hormone treatment and radiation and lets say atleast close to my age give or take 10 years. HAVE A NICE DAY UNLESS YOU HAVE OTHER PLANS ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
