Also, sulforaphane has been clinically shown to slow down PSA rise, so consider a supplement or grow your own broccoli sprouts...I do both. Here are some good articles on this.
Growing them is a bit of work, like having your own small farm in the kitchen…makes a great smoothie! YouTube has lots of good sites; here is one that seemed to work for me.
No. Doubling time means everything. His Oncologist better be doing something consequential before he hits 20. 2 1/2 years ago (after 3 rounds of Lute-177 ) I had an 8 month reprieve of 0.041 then it started doubling again. I went back to Thailand had a PSMA pet scan then another round of Lute -177 then 20 rounds of IMRT. I have been holding steady at 0.01 for the last year. It's expensive but I wouldn't be here writing to you if it didn't work. I have had 18 months of Hormone treatments which was finished 3 months ago and no other treatment - I don't have a clue what all the acronyms mean that I read on this site. Good luck to you both.
The IMRT was directed at my prostate. The Lute cleared up my Mets and there was a lot of them. The HT was Lupron but it's called Luproline in Thailand.
When I was, unintentionally, given a 6 month Eligard shot my psa doubled twice to 3.16 in less than three months. I choose monthly bloods testing. MO then gave me a 7.5mg Lupron shot. In one month reduced my psa to half of what the previous month was. Eventually added Nubeqa.
this is very serious and I urge you to contact the best cancer treatment center in your region. I live in the Pacific Northwest and entrust my cancer treatment to Swedish Medical Center and the University of Washington via the Fred Hutch Center (formerly Seattle Cancer Care Alliance). I had ten years from diagnosis (2011) to January of 2021, when my PSA jumped from 7.6 to 11.2, to research treatment options while on active surveillance. I chose SBRT (cyberknife) with Dr. Robert Meier at Swedish (the prostate cancer had spread to my ribs, sternum, and tailbone). I was on hormone therapy (ADT with Eligard) for two years. My PSA has remained undetectable for those two years and I no longer get quarterly Eligard shots. Your husband's doubling of his PSA is not a good sign. You need to find the closest top-notch treatment center (e.g. such as M.D. Anderson in Texas).
none. I was on hormone therapy for two years and my oncologist said let's see how you do without hormones. It's apparently common to suspend ADT and quarterly monitor PSA to see whether it becomes detectable. The theory being the SBRT destroyed all the metastasis (SBRT evidently scrambles the DNA of the cancer cells) shown on the body scan and two years of ADT effectively "starved" any lingering prostate cancer cells.
