CEA Fluctuations
My husband has just completed his 3rd cycle of Carboplatin and Etoposide for prostate cancer liver mets. Before the first cycle his CEA was 38 (should be <5) This number is being used as baseline. After 1st cycle it was 30.3 but after his 2nd cycle it rose to 32.7. Is it normal for CEA to fluctuate

Abiraterone - alternatives
Only 3 months after completing 6 rounds of Docetaxel my husband was put on Abi as his onco felt the chemo had been unsuccessful. However the onco is now saying he will pull him off the Abi as his PSA has doubled for the each of the 2 months he’s been on it. In the UK once you’ve been on Abi for 3 months

Asking for a friend.
A friend of mine has a good friend that has been DX with a Gleason score 3+3 =6. Don’t know his PSA number. I told my friend that guys in my PC support group with a Gleason score of 6 have been on active surveillance for years. Anyone riding that boat with some info I can pass along. The guy is scared

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Hello guys! I wanted to give a little update on my dad. He was diagnosed stage four prostate cancer in June 2015, with a PSA of 257 and a single lymph node involved. His prostate was so enlarged at the time that he had to have double nephrostomy bags. He started hormone therapy and chemo immediately

low back problems
I've been on Eligard and abiraterone+prednisone for slightly more than a year, out of a planned 2 years. I had 44 sessions of proton beam therapy ending 4/7/23. My PSA has been undetectable since early in my ADT regimen, and remained so as recently as 2 weeks ago. I began to have low back pain, sometimes

Blood Test Timescales
Does anyone know how long different blood tests take to turn around? A week ago I had a set of blood tests done. I want convinced the nurse was not paying full attention. By COB Thursday I had (online) U&Es, LFT, Bone Profile and CRP (not requested but raised). Not there at15:00 today were HbA1c, FBC

PSA increasing during radiation treatment
Hi all, Please refresh my memory. Can PSA increase during radiation treatment due to cancer cells dying off? Last month 0.14 and today 0.26. On day #4 of radiation treatment. Thanks!

I’m perplexed about Pluvicto
After one dose of Pluvicto, Joe’s PSA rose, and Mets are unchanged. His second dose is August 4. I asked his onc what good looks like: how will we know if P is working? When? No good answer……he’ll rescan after 3rd dose….. His QOL is lousy, from what I see, anyway. Spends days moving between

perspective
in 1980 when my dad was diagnosed with pc, I imagined he was dying and carried that in my head for the next nine years. When I was diagnosed with pc stage IVa in 2017 it took me a year to realize I was not dying… and since then I’ve continued to live a very good life. Now I’m facing my psa on the rise

Slight PSA increase
What would you suggest? You see my history in my bio. This June I added a second disease and was diagnosed with testicle lymphoma. Testicle has been removed, all tests (bone biopsy, lumbar puncture, Pet/CT) are clear. So well do four cycles of R-CHOP chemo and doctors are confident, that this will cure

Extra Mammary Paget's Disease.
Hi,In August 2019, had RRP, G4+3. Soon after diagnosed with PTSD and still struggling. Still some leaking. The prostate cancer was missed and it took 11 years to get the diagnosis. PSA rising since, now 6. Due to Ulcerative Colitis, unable to have radiotherapy, so now it's incurable. In March 2023,

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a PSA of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five. He’s been on generic Zytiga and prednisone and Lupron and finished six weeks of IMRT

I mentioned a few weeks ago that my brother (the last 1st degree male relative who had not yet had prostate cancer) had had an elevated PSA and was seeking care. He had discovered that MSKCC did not want to see him unless and until he had a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer. So today he had a

Boron and Fasting for the Prostate
I read taking boron as a suppl was good for the prostate and could lower psa . Has anyone tried Boron ? I went on a 10 day water fast and my psa went from 23 down to 15 in 1 month. but went back up to 24. Who knows when it comes to psa other than doubling time or if it drops to normal. Their is a person
