not really sure . My Situation was 251 PSA - Gleason 9 with gland involvement in abdomen . Went to tumor board and treatment suggestion was Lupron -casodex 4 weeks then Lupron - Xtandi plus 8 weeks Radiate to prostate and lymph. PSA dropped to .006 and remains that level after 1 year - still on Lupron -160 mg Xtandi everyday . Side effects arw occasional hot flash and shoulder pain . Not really bad though

I’m 65 and in good health other than prostate

I assume they are shooting for cure here so 1 more year of Lupron and Xtandi. Strongly advise weight lifting and exercise. You won’t get a lot stronger but you won’t get weaker.

wow almost the same as my father. His exact spread is not fully clear yet. Lymph node involvement and maybe a spot on pelvic bone which possible makes the situation very different than yours.. I am not really sure. But happy to hear you are doing well thus far. Are they aiming to cure you ?

Really happy for you. The question in my mind is if you should have a PSMA PET/CT to look for remote mets. Increasing clear there is no hard number with regard to PSA and a positive PSMA scan. Something to consider.
