PSA Rising

I agree with Prato. Also, your rise in PSA is pretty slow, ask an Oncologist, preferably one that specializes in Urologic cancers. Before you get an advanced scan, make sure your Onco trusts them. My...

How long before you become castrate resistant

It's when your prostate cancer ignores the fact that your T-level is really low. Which means ADT treatment is failing. And your PCa starts to produce PSA again....
