I have prostate cancer and recently had surgery to place a bladder sling due to my problems with urine leakage following my prostatectomy. 2 weeks post-op I developed a DVT from my groin to my toes! My vascular surgeon had me repeat my PSA and it was up to 3.4 (it was 1.4 in Nov). I have had Lupron injections in the past to suppress my PSA. I can t have an IVC filter because of my prostate cancer. I get to lay in bed and take coumadin and wait. My urologist says that my elevated PSA could be due to my recent surgery and wants to wait to recheck a PSA. If it is up he wants to give me another Lupron injection. My vascular surgeon does not think I should do to increased risk clot with this injection. What do you think I should do in regard to the best in terms of risk/benefit.
Hi Thanks for your query. You can just wait a few months till the clot settles, before you take another upon. That will not lead to cancer flare by any means. Hope this helps. Regards
