Xtandi

[Bball]

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer 2 1/2 years ago. He was on casodex 18 months and then switched to Xtandi one year ago. His PSA was never more than 4 but alk phos was 4000. His PSA has been < .1 for two years but last month it was .2. Doctor doesn’t think it’s significant but articles I’ve seen sound like it could be. Any experience with this?

That’s not a dramatic change. Watch to see if the next one indicates a trend. Best to you.

My onc told me that the < was significant, meaning PSA was undetectable, so .2 would mean it is detectable again and worthy of watching closely and perhaps plotting your next play should that be necessary.

Thank you. I’ll watch it.
