New nadir, any ideas

[alephnull]

I got my quarterly PSA results back Tuesday.

I guess it's good news, no real change, from 0.75 to 0.74.

I was really hoping it would go back to the 0.17 range.

This was my previous nadir, I guess I have a new nadir, oh well life goes on.

Orgovyx is still working, my T is at 12, yeah 12.

I'd really like to know what my PCa is doing.

Coming off of ADT vacations, my nadir has bumped up, but when I went back on ADT, PSA always went back down to my nadir .

But the last two vacations not happening, First from <0.1 to 0.17 , now from 0.17 to 0.74.

Any ideas what's going on??

I mean, I'm not CR, is this a matter of the PCa not getting "Starved of T"??

I would say that by taking the vacations you're letting the cancer grow I've been call ADT 4.5 years they will not let me take vacations I had a ductile forum of cancer I'm sure Heather's will chime in

I’m in the same mind set as super muscle man Boywonder56 ( I’m the flabby “ before “ picture, he’s the “ after 100,000 hours in the gym picture ). No vaca’s.

For me, if you have your foot on its neck, don’t let it get up to take another swing at you. Just my perspective, yours may vary hugely. Yayahahahaya

That is still low. Castration resistance is not a yes/no event, it is gradual as the cancer cells evolve.

Once my PSA went from non detectable to detectable while on ADT both of my MO’s, including Sartor, considered me castrate resistant. It qualified me for Provenge as well.

It's definitely a judgment call, and your case illustrates why it may be an advantage to declare it, for insurance purposes, sooner rather than later.
