Unfortunately, the future is marred with a problem. On Tuesday, after I returned to having medical coverage, I saw the doctor. The good is that I'll be back on my hypertension meds. The bad news is that my PSA has risen. It's not at the usual danger mark, but given I'm not supposed to have a prostate, it should be darn near zero. Back the specialist, but I'm afraid this spells trouble. We shall see in a couple of weeks I guess.
At this point I don't know yet. I have an appointment in a couple weeks and I'll likely find out more then. At the risk of assuming I would guess they could do a scan to see if they can find the "growth" but I'm not sure where we go from there. Way back when I was told that surgery was more or less not an option once the treatment I chose was over. The prostate should be all dead scar tissue, and I guess it's hard to work with that and leave anything else functioning. However, I would guess that if a new growth was on the outside of the existing organ it might be possible to go in and cut it out. However, that's all guesswork on my part, so...we'll see.
