Hi,
My Dad is 74. He was diagnosed with prostate cancer about two years ago with a PSA of 10,000 and Gleason of 4/5 for a total of 9.
He did six rounds of chemotherapy (Doctaxel). He takes ADT. He eats home cooked meals and works out hard. His result was fantastic with tons of cancer kill! His PSA went to .2 and stayed there for a year.
It has been creeping slowly up for about a year. From .2 to .2 to .3 to .6 to .8 and then to 2.8.
When the PSA rose from .6 to .8, he had a CT/Bone Scan. The scans came back clear with nothing shown.
Is a PSA between 0 - 4 considered acceptable range?
His oncologist suggested Nubeqa coupled with his ADT. What do you guys think of that suggestion?
What does the community think the next best step is?
I think Doctaxel again since it was proven so successful.
I appreciate your valuable insights!
Love and health,
Karyn
