David
Baker lives in Florida, USA. He was 51 when he was diagnosed in May, 2007. His
initial PSA was 4.5 ng/ml, his Gleason Score was 8 and although he does not state
it, it seems likely he was staged T1c. His choice of treatment was robotic laparoscopic
surgery. Here is his story.
I am now 53 years old. I was diagnosed with
prostate cancer May 2007. PSA was 4.0. Biopsy revealed Gleeson 8. I had prostate
surgically removed in August 2007.
Twelve weeks after surgery PSA was
1.2 and rising. I began a 3 month Lupron regimen in December 2007. That initially
knocked PSA to 0.04.
After 9 months PSA was again rising. I began 1 month
Lupron shot and daily 50g Casodex in September 2008. PSA went to 0.61. 2 months
later PSA was 0.67.
May 8 2009 PSA has increased 10 fold to 6.0; May 19
my PSA is 9.0. My doctor says drugs are not keeping down my testosterone. I was
given a shot of Zoladex May 24.
