Hey gang, latest PSA at 4.3, up from 4.1 and 4.2 previously

On Abiraterone since January 2020 and was hoping it would approach nil.

T under 3, on Lupron, Metformin, and Lipitor.

Life with #stageivpca

So, still in the game so far💙

Life with # stageivpca . I’m right there with ya. T=3 over 4 yrs and constant adt ...What you do is amazing. I thank you for giving those video about ccp virus before any average citizen saw it . That’s a really cool mask . I’m sorry that dammed psa is moving up a little. Otherwise how do you feel? You’re doing good.

Those PSA numbers are fairly close together and could be due to inflammation or irritations in the prostate bed. I would wait for one more PSA reading. If the next one is up again, that would signal that a move in treatment is needed.

Was on Abiraterone/Prednisone for 6 months when my PSA rose from 0,12 to 0.55 and oncologist decided it was time to change to Olaparib due to genetic testing confirming BRCA2+ mutation. PSA then went to undetectable. Also continuing on Eligard and Xgeva.

Hey Abbot? Yes Lou? "Who was that masked man?" I think he was that guy who was on first. Who's on first? ...........................

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Like the mask. Love the attitude. I note stylish scrubs also. Do you work in healthcare?
