The PSA is the reading of the fluids in the prostate. If there is a PSA and the prostate has been removed, there is cancer somewhere in the body

My father also underwent hormone therapy due to his advanced prostate cancer. He was also given the Lupron Depot and Casodex. He survived 7 years on this therapy and his PSA went from 250 to less than one. Sadly, he lost his battle to cancer on Jan. 4th.
