My prostrate was removed in March if this year! I have 100% incontence and now my PSA keeps going up. I’ve had a PET scan and last week I had a MRI to try and find the cancer that is making my PSA increase. Both scans showed no cancer. My urologist put me on hormone pills and is scheduling me for pelvic radiation and said there is a 50% chance that the cancer is in my pelvic area! My concern is if the radiation dose t change anything and there is still cancer somewhere what’s next! I’ve also heard stories that some men just have a high PSA after their prostrate is removed. My PSA was .499 a few months after surgery and the last time it was checked a few weeks ago it went up to .969 ! Frustrated!!
