What is the standard of Care for PSA Checks after 41 months of <0.01, with high decipher score, EPE and + Margins?
Also, if
PSA
becomes detectable do you radiate all of the prostate bed and lymph nodes, and use hormones?

Continuing Lupron
A month of Casodex 50 mg before the a Lupron shot brought the
PSA
down from 1.1 to 0.42. During the first three months the
PSA
dropped from 0.42 to 0.29 on October 17. However, at the end of the next three months
PSA
didn't drop, it increased marginally to 0.32 on January 20.

Estrogen cream can work to PCa?
I think because of M testosterone, the
PSA
levels are not decrease but increase. So if we apply the Estrogen cream on the parts of body, the testosterone level may go down? Am awaiting the answer.

Time to saddle up the ADT pony
Its been a good 2+ yrs but my
PSA
has gone up to 2.5 so i go in next week for a PSMA scan and i would guess i will be back on ADT. So my issue is that I am taking all of my family to France in June and i remember how going on ADT the first time kicked my behind - and it was almost overnight.

First Pluvicto Treatment Today
My current
PSA
is 243. Hoping to knock that down. The doctor said 80% of their patients have had 50% or more
PSA
reduction. I have significant pain so hoping to get relief from that as well.

Movin on up
Have my quarterly appt tomorrow but MO is sure its the cancer we are looking for that's causing my increasing
PSA
. So yay? I am guessing if there's a preferential location for recurrence this wouldn't be it.

Active Surveillance/2nd Biopsy
I have BPH and my last
PSA
was 11.5 but I have a bladder obstruction that may have caused the rise. I was thinking I am good to go with active surveillance with regular
PSA
tests and MRI's (I've had 3, all PIRADS 2) and another bx down the road. From what I've read 3+4 is favorable. Thoughts?

Waiting for Pluvecto but willing to try Oxfigo
for several months and recently his
PSA
has started going up from 10 to 17 to 26 yesterday. We are on the list in SoCal (San Diego) for Pluvecto but it's not available possibly for several month. The new oncologist suggested we try Oxfigo since it is specifically good for cancer in the bone.

Time for Hospice
During trial,
psa
increased from 0.9 to 2.1 In December, I started having double-vision. It started side-by-side, then progressed to over-under, and now the vision from one eye is rotated about 30° with respect to the other.

PSMA PET showed no recurrence or metastasis. Appointment with rad oncologist next week. Hold off on treatment?

Positive Margins -- Will I need additional treatment?
3 months post RALP and
PSA
is undetectable by standard test. My surgical pathology results are pasted below. Do you think I will need additional treatment? I have not spoken to my urologist yet, since the
PSA
results just came in.

PSA Climbing
my husband’s
psa
has been climbing for 6 months. He recently left the urologist he was going to and is now going to Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo, NY. They ordered an mri, PSMA pet and biopsy. Nothing shows but his
psa
keeps rising. They ordered another PSMA pet for 2/16.

New to this or any other forum. Recently diagnosed with recurrent PC. Have questions regarding RT.
Noticed
PSA
rising in August of 22 when
PSA
was 0.20. In January of 23 it rose to 0.34. Urologist has scheduled a special PET scan for next week and I have an appointment with a radiation oncologist three days after that.

Thoughts on vacation and PSA
Is an increase in
PSA
from <0.01 to <0.014 significant? Sorry in advance if I'm worrying about nothing and to all those here dealing with harder fights. So here's my deal. Today's
PSA
was <0.014, up slightly from <0.01 for the last year.

Enthesitis and Psoriatic Arthritis
I’m interested to hear from anyone who suffers from enthesitis with
PsA
? Does this condition cause the joints to swell? Does it raise the ESR/CCP markers for inflammation?
