A very close friend of mine has been diagnosed as having Prostrate Cancer. He has had biopsies and has been on chemotherapy for over a year. Lupron is one of the drugs he is currently taking. His PSA runs all over the place he has had readings as high as 1700 and as low as 24. Fluctuations occurr often..one time up real high then down next test. He now believes there is some correlation between his elevated PSAs and
infection in his urinary tract. Is there any such correklation and is his assumption valid?
