Been on arbitrone for 1 year and 1 month increase in PSA from. 7 to 1.8, on eligard, since beginning, xgeva monthly until November of 2021 now every 3 months. Just had a CT and bone scans, the cat scan showed no disease progression and the bone scans no new Mets as the old one's have healed over 2 years ago. Due to the rise in PSA can something be added to keep the arbitrone working longer, do not want to burn through medicine so fast. What would be a reasonable next step the oncologist might suggest, feel great, still working 20 to 24 hours a week at 70 with no plans on stopping work for another 2 years or more. I still get the intense hot flashes every day and night. I am taking dex with the arbitrone.

I think alternating chemo and hormonals works best. Sometimes it works again after chemo.
I did 6 rounds of chemo in 2018, would it require the same 6 rounds again ? If the cat and bone scans are good then why is the PSA going up although it is still low. I am seeing him on the 11th, just gathering information so I can ask intelligent questions as to the next step. I did very well with the chemo then and would it be the same stuff ?
You can probably wait until there is some evidence on a bone scan/ct. Jevtana may be a good choice:

Or you can try a combo of Jevtana, Xofigo and Provenge, if you can get them (go back to monthly Xgeva if you have Xofigo):
Not what you're looking for?
