Casodex and prostate cancer

Question
I was diagnosed in 2005 with prostate cancer. Started on zolodex then to radiotherapy to casodex. Age: 76 In 2007: psa 0.106, now it is 0.625.

My next appointment is three months. What should I ask my doctor?
Answer
There is a small but significant rise in your PSA and the question you should ask your doctor is whether he wants to add to the Casodex, withdraw the Casodex and watch for a response or move to alternative endocrine therapy.
