Prostate Cancer

My husband was diagnosed in 2000 with prostate cancer. He received 42 radiation treatments and his PSA stayed down for many years. Then it began to climb which meant that some cancer cells were becoming active and about 2 years ago they gave him a hormone shot. It has lasted well until last time he has his checkup, his PSA had started to rise. He had a PSA blood test last week and tomorrow he will find out just what it is. If it is over 10,12,or even 16, they will give him another hormone shot. He has been blessed that the first shot lasted so long.
