I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in? 2004 & had it removed. In 2005 I was diagnosed with CML & have been on
gleevec? ever since with good results. In October 2008 my psa was up again without a prostate!? I was told by my urologist that 85% the cancer was in the prostate bed & 15% chance it was in the bone. I underwent 33 radiation treatments & my psa was negative as of two months ago.??I'll just have to go for?all my tests & keep praying that everything is ok.?? God bless, ?????????????????????

My urologist recently said he has noticed an elevation in PSA count in his patients who were in treatment for CML or CLL, even though the prostate is supposedly the only organ which generates the PSA enzime. It does not mean there is cancer of the prostate. My oncologist said once your are malignant in one area, you may become so in other areas. Has anyone else (men) seen an elevation of PSA levels since CML treatment? I take Gleevec and it controls my WBC very well with a few side effects. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
