Testosterone level 290

[bluephi]

I just found out my psa is 2.4 and my testosterone is 290. Is that a normal range for both?

[RyderLake2]

Are you on any type of hormone therapy? That seems very high.

[bluephi in reply to RyderLake2]

Yes...Lupton. I received my first injection on Oct.24, 2018

[bluephi in reply to bluephi]

Lupron and Casodex since Oct. 2018

Testosterone levels of 290 after 2+ months of Casodex & Lupron seem very high to me.

My levels are below 8 and I have been on Eligard for about 10 months now.

[bluephi in reply to whatsinaname]

Great...I believe <20 is ideal. Do you think staying the course a little longer will bring it down.

[whatsinaname in reply to bluephi]

For sure, it will. In a few weeks or less, you should have T levels of under 20 easily, I think. All the very best.

[bluephi in reply to whatsinaname]

Thanks...I sure hope so, will definitely discuss with my MO in 2 weeks

Talk to your oncologist about Firmagon.

[CalBear74 in reply to bluephi]

After six years of Lupron my T level is <2. None here can predict where your T level will go in the future. We are not oncologists. Tall_Allen's suggestion about Firmagon would seem a good next step.

Your goal is as low as you can go for your PSA and testosterone. I am the caretaker/RN for 12 years to my good friend and just joined this group. His PSA just jumped unfortunately and we are starting radium 223, a form of radiation. I could probably answer a lot of questions for you if you are new, my friend was diagnosed 4 years ago and I am his caretaker.

My husband is getting Xofigo radium 223 and just had his 3rd treatment today. His PSA is 1370 right now.

[George71 in reply to sgrama]

How did the radium 223 work for your husband? Is it lowering the PSA? You should ask about darolutamide - it is a new out prostate cancer drug.

average male with out prostrate cancder is 0-4.0, as for testosterone it usually around out cancer is from 0-900 with cancer as low as u can get. my psa is 38 and my testosterone is about 5-15. thats what the eliguard /loprin shot is to keep your psa in single digits.
