Comments on: Dear Dr. I have been on Lupron injection and Casodex for 3 months. My initial PSA was 9.7, my stage is t3aN0M0, I am awaiting Proton treatment at Tsukuba in Japan. My first blood test after 3 months on these meds showed PSA .09 ; slightly elevated liver (forget which one exactly, but a 50 when top normal range is 45); cholesterol 255 LDL, higher than last t test several years a go. Bone density, in normal range but low in spine area. What does the low PSA # tell you? Does this mean the chance of metastasize is low? Any other comments on the ther numbers? I just turned 55, 200 lbs jog regularly albeit very slow. Am having hot flashes, some extra fatigue and redness in my eyes. I have been on an SSRI (remeron) for headaches for 10 yrs. 15 mg usually before bed, original prescription was for 60 mg. but I never take that much occasionally 30 mg. Thank You Steve S
