PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning

6 months after MRI Guided SBRT at MSK
After a year and a half of Active Surveillance, my cancer progressed to GL 4+3 and I decided to have MRI Guided SBRT in August at Memorial Sloan Kettering in NYC under the care of Dr. Sean McBride. I had 5 sessions over 10 days and each lasted about an hour. The entire team at MSK was wonderful and

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update 2/18/24
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.48 on 1/29/24 then 2.48 on 2/15/24. Waiting MO response but anticipate PET scan, radiation and/or switch to Xtandi. Was hoping to ride the Zytiga therapy as long as possible but I may be there now.

PSA rise
2 months ago my PSA was 20. I have had extensive screening done prior to starting a clinical trial on Tuesday. My PSA has gone up to 367 since then. CT scan showed no significant change and I had bone scan yesterday. Onco says it may just be increased activity of existing cancer cells and not necessarily

All in this together
You can read my bio but basically, diagnosed 29 years ago when I was 34 years old with OC. I have been very fortunate not to have had any recurrence but recently had a good scare. Preventative lung ct picked up an incidental finding which frightened me for past two years. "Inteterminate soft tissue lesions

Optilume, scans, and tests
I found an old post on this "Balloon" based BPH treatment but no replies. I had a cystoscopy today as part of my decision making process for BPH treatment first or Gleason 7 (4+3) treatment first. My urologist gave me a brochure for a procedure he does called Optilume from a company called Laborie.

Clinical trials?
At the oncology appointment yesterday my husband was given what I believe is an amazing opportunity, he has the option of starting standard care ( immunotherapy pembrolizumab ) or participating in clinical trials where they will be also adding a second drug for a two pronged approach. Whilst I know
