Great scans in January, no disease progression or lesions, old lesions healed, psa is stabilized around 3.7. should I consider casodex , feel good, still working part time. Last visit he was waiting for the psa to stabilize. I guess I do not want it to come back, a fear we all have. Other thing should I push for the extra meds just to lower psa or go with the flow, been on 3 month lupron shot since February 2018.

Here's a sequence based on what we know:

You could start with casodex. It has less side effects than other drugs.

Seeing as you haven't been able to get to 'undetectable' in terms of your nadir, it appears that you have reached a 'stable' number, at least for now.

As T_A mentioned, you are probably looking at another phase of treatment that goes beyond the initial SOC that you've already experienced.

I recall meeting or reading about people with much higher PSA numbers than yours that functioned well without any additional medical intervention.

Having said that, I suspect those individuals were not a-typical, so guidance from your medical team is the best approach. There is something that looks unresolved.

We wish you well - please keep us posted.

Thank you, your ideas are what I was thinking since the scans were great according to the dr. , maybe it had leveled off and compared to some still low , will keep you informed and will let you know what he says in may when the next lupron shot is given. For now just enjoy life and live on.
