Prostate Cancer

My grandpa was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the year 2000. His PSA was over 6 and they gave him 42 radiation treatments. He was doing very well until about 2 years ago when his PSA began to rise again, so they gave him a hormone shot. Well that shot really did a good job for him because it has been 2 years now since he had one. His PSA is creeping up slowly but he doesn't go back to the doctor until March 2011 and they will probably give him another hormone shot then. He has really been blessed because his brother had to have that shot every 3 months for almost 11 years.
