I am a 64 year old male. Ihad an RP 11years ago. After PSA started rising post surgery I went on Lupron/ Casodex. PSA was less than 0.1 until recently when I had a reading of 0.16. A week or so ago before latest 4 monthly Lupron injection PSA rose to .20.
I have been on Asacol for ulcerative colitis 400 MG 2 tablets 3 times daily. I don't know if the Asacol is affecting PSA.
