Last year, at age 44, operated PC Davinci.Psa before surgery 30.Gs 3 + 4, pN0-0 / 17, negative resection margin, pT3a, R0, L1, V0.
6 weeks PO PSA 0.31 then 0.35 and 0.52.
Psma Ga negative. Started ADT 6 months and radiotherapy 33 times. After radiation 2 months first PSA 0.013. Now I am taking out a new PSA in 3 weeks.
Do you have any advice for me? I wish you all the best.
Your doctor didn't mention Lupron before radiation? This seems to be the standard treatment for prostate cancer.
I had 2 hormon injection,testosteron dropped to 0,5
Now, all you can do is wait. As the ADT wears off, your PSA may rise a bit, but as long as it gets no higher than 0.2, you're OK.
BTW- what does L1 and V0 mean? R means recurrent, and because you had persistent PSA, you should be labelled R1.
Blood vessel infiltration V0
Hi Allen.My second PSA 5 months after RT is 0,024,testestoron 0,9 was 0,5.What do you think?First PSA 2 months post RT was 0,017 no 0,013
Thanks
Nice!
TA now i have great news.Last PSA drop to 0,009 from 0,024 after 2 monhts.
Testosteron grow from 1,1 to 1,4.
Keep active with cardio and some strength training . I also recommend simple bone nutrients and a clean diet . Exercise is key to improving almost everything .with lethargy and fatigue comes a withering effect on our muscle joints and bones. We now should eat heart healthy and get cardio. We are at more risk after treatments of cv issues.. I’m 41/2 yrs clear out of five with APC . Remission so to speak. But I’m still on adt and it does some Sebastian to the system .. Live healthy and live longer ... Good luck .
You are 41 years,4 stage,2 years clear?That mean you have PC at 39 years?
No , my chicken scratching wasn’t clear . Sorry about that . I was 53 now 59 in May. Ive had four and one half years in remission .
Sebastian. Is that what that is? Please elaborate. I would call the effects of ADT something less dignified.
I don’t understand?
I thought I saw in a reply from you in this that you used the term "Sebastian" and I did not understand the reference. And now I cannot find it! Must be my chemo muddled brain.
I space out and sometimes reply to the wrong person . I’ve got to watch also I delete my post after a few days only ., take care Mat !
We’re you stage 3 or 4 ? No Metz? If so your outlook is good . Take care
PT3a,start of stage 3 ,no metz
Good job catching it before stage four and Metz . That’s a different game that you don’t want to play in . It’s possible that you are cured. We carry a ticking enemy inside. It’s up to us to enjoy life and keep it at bay .. it almost always comes back if we live long enough . I m in the eye of the storm. Whistling Dixie and skipping until for me with stage four the dreaded uptick . A strange mentality to live with but we can live . We have fascinating men and women from all corners of the world chiming in with use. Welcome ,, & and pluck the day . Good health and happiness from
Here on!😎✌️
Thanks.
Having no t like me has it’s own set of charming side effects . Some get hit hard other breeze by, I hope you’re the later .🌵😎
Welcome Brano ! 44 wtf ? thats one hec of a thing to experience. I was 53 and felt early to this old mans party. I feel for ya . Asked questions . You’ll get good answers here.. You’ll
Live long. Hormonal changes will come So just Grin and bear it and focus on what you love in life . Some fellows have lived decades beyond even worse dx s. Live healthy adjust to the new you, You have 10, 000 members here that can relate. Welcome to the gang ! ✌️🕊 Scott
Your approach to date sounds logical to me. I think your next step is important, that is nipping any PC recurrence in the bud - hoping of course that it doesn't recur. IN the event that your PSA rises to 0.2ng/ml (biochemical recurrence), monitor PSA carefully and when it gets to say 0.5 get a PET PSMA scan done. The sensitivity is only about 50% but it means you detect it early and before if metastasizes into bone, which augers well for treating the PC with Lu177 (which hopefully will be available in the USA by that time) if it is PSMA-avid.
All the best. Rob
Advice? Not smart enough to offer advice. Wish you well and it appears you are doing well. This "advice" might seem obvious but it has been a theme in this forum: see sure you get your blood tested at the same lab consistently. Differences between labs need to unnecessary worry of your part.
My RP (Gleason 4+3) and IMRT in my mid 50’s gave me a 7.5 year remission. With low PSA and no scans, Taxotere plus more radiation have given me another remission 3 years and counting. Exercise and diet are important.
Just keep your eye on the ball.............. 44? You got at least 44 more years to go............ Remember me in 2064......... thanks....
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
