PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
Today I had a
PSA
test. My
PSA
dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic fall in
PSA
after only 22 days of Abiraterone . I will have another
PSA
test on January 4. Should I expect further fall in
PSA
?

Pluvicto+Xtandi Delays Progression Better than Xtandi-alone in mCRPC
Significant improvement in progression-free survival,

HoLEP for BPH followed by SBRT several months later for 4+3 = 7 PCa. Is it preferable to do the HoLEP before the SBRT?
PSA
8.8. Decipher 0.51.
PSA
density 0.11. Having HoLEP in May 2024 then SBRT several months later.

Rising PSA
My
PSA
has been undetectable (<0.01) for all that time. This week it was .02 I’m going to redo the test to make sure. Then my urologist wants to refer me to a radiation oncologist. Has anyone had any experience with this. It’s really been hard trying to sort this all out.

PSA still undectable
it’s been 4 months now since I didn’t have my ADT injection ( so 7 months since the last one). Continuing on Apalutamide as a monotherapy atm. Pleased to have experienced Christmas and a 3 week hol in Barbados with no bad news as Decembers have bed. Dodgy in the past. Back at work now - enjoyed

Pet Scan = "disease not detected"
7 weeks of radiation,
PSA
drops and holds at >0.01 (undetectible), stays that way for a year, we stop the Lupron,
PSA
stays at that less than 0.01 for right at a year and starts a slow climb, at 0.8 I start zityga and prednisone, this lasts about 4 weeks,
PSA
back at that undetectable range BUT, my

At the crossroads (again)
. & today show progression along with
PSA
rise. All my mets are in bone. So, my SOC choices are cabazataxel or radium 223. Other options are trial, which are a crapshoot or go overseas for Actinium. BTW, diagnosed less than 2 years ago with denovo high volume metastatic, Gleason 4 & 5,
PSA
28.2.

Failing ADT
That seems to have worked for a short as my
PSA
became immeasurable once again. However- over the last 15-18 months, my
PSA
has been rising form: <.05, .05, .06, .06, .09 and then yesterday it was measured at .14.

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Stayed that way for two years then my T started to gradually increase to around 32 and my
PSA
stated going up.
PSA
went to 2.5 and my Johns Hopkins doctor said "I needed treatment." Had another Eligard injection and
PSA
dropped back to undetectable.

Morgentaler Saturation Model: PSA vs Testosterone - Estrogen Patch vs Lupron ADT
The assumption that a
PSA
value is proportional to Prostate Growth rate may not be correct.

What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Since then,
PSA
has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024,
PSA
up to .87. Yesterday, it was 1.16. Have Oncology appointment tomorrow. Time to talk what comes next. (We have been expecting this.) DNA testing is definitely a go. But what comes next?

Mortality Probability after first PSA rise vs non-castrate testosterone levels (low vs Normal)
At 5 years after first
PSA
failure, the prostate specific mortality rate is about 7% for normal T, versus 58% for "Low" T. That's a huge difference, which only gets larger with longer time. The paper also reports that the
PSA
doubling time is 2.8 months for Low-T and 10.6 months for Normal-T.
