I am recurrent oligo. In June of last year, a plarify PSMA detected a solitary met at C6. My psa at that point was about .43. By September it was .54 and I had SBRT to C6 in November,21. Never been on HT. My psa declined to .05 by about May,22 but by August has now risen to .08.
What now?
PSA too low right now for another PSMA. HT has a shelf life so would rather not use that bullet until I have to. My RO doesn't usually start HT until the psa is more in the 4.0 or more range.
I read a recent paper to the effect that BCR after SBRT requires nadir plus 2 but I don't want to wait that long.
I am meeting tomorrow with my RO but value your input. My RO seems a little too accepting of the inevitable for my tastes.
Do I just wait for the psa to get back to around .5 and do another PSMA?
(I do have a spine MRI scheduled for Tuesday- standard after SBRT. But, in the past, the MRIs had trouble even confirming the met at C6 seen on the PSMA.)
Thank you.
