psa rising
After a second rise in
psa
from .04 to .21 in three months we decided to meet with a medical oncologist to discuss next steps. I am inclined to get a scan to locate pc but it may be too low.

PSA rise
On Dec 6 my
PSA
was 0.04 then on March 19 it was 0.21 so this indicates a rise in Mets. Is this too low for a scan? What should be the next steps?

new PSA
my
PSA
rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

Casodex(tablet) Vs lupron(injection)
Hi allCasodex (bicalutamide) 57% for driving down
PSA
Lupron 87% BUT........ maybe for an individual would it be worth trying to see if casodex tablets worked better for driving down
PSA
instead of the lupron injection????

PSA went up after three treatments of chemotherapy
before the first treatment
PSA
was 89. after the first treatment
PSA
was 73.31.. after the second treatment
PSA
was 52.82. after the third treatment,
PSA
was 73.31.. does it make sense to take another chemotherapy treatment since the
PSA
has risen after the 3rd treatment?

Lupron unjection not reducing PSA
I was then put on Orgovyx, that did not stop
psa
from rising. I was then put on monthly injections of lupron, the
psa
was 25. Lupron dropped the
psa
to 10. I have been on lupron for 4 monthly injections. My
PSA
keeps rising, last
psa
test was 28 last month, guess I'm castrate resistant now.

PSA REACHES 5,125 !!
Diagnosed seven years ago with metastatic prostate cancer (
PSA
1,666). Got down to 0.9 with hormone (eligard) shots.
PSA
increased, even with eligard. Recently completed my fourth of five Pluvicto infusion treatments (last due in one week). Currently, my
PSA
is at 5,125.

If PSA is Suppressed by Doublet ADT, Will Salvage IMRT Cause a PSA Rise?
His radiation oncologist said it may take several months before the
psa
calms down, so he would like to see him in July. My question is that, since he is already undetectable due to Lupron/Abi/Pred, would the radiation treatment cause a
psa
rise despite being on the hormone therapy.?

Treatment
The last three
PSA
readings (every three months) were 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00, I expect
PSA
control soon. You can find more detailed information in my post. I hope for the best, and I wish you the same. Good luck

A question about radiation resistance
(such as
PSA
drops, but not significantly) I did have PSMA immediately prior to SBRT that only showed
PSA
at site of lesion.

PSA Bounce After Radiation Therapy
I am trying to understand
PSA
bounce or change in
PSA
levels after RT and have found two studies useful.
