PSA Question

[Izzygirl1]

I updated my husbands profile to show his PSA went from --

2.08 in January to...

1.73 in February

1.77 in March

1.78 in April His next test is 6/6.

It has never gotten lower than 1.24 back in December of 2022. Is it normal for some people to not have an extremely low PSA?

He finished chemo the end of December 2022 and has Lupron shots every six months and takes Nubeqa (darolutimide) everyday. (Triple therapy) He feels good but still deals with fatigue and shortness of breath.

Your thoughts, if any? TIA ❤️

I couldn’t get my psa to drop below .5 after a year of all soc trx n then read the govt’s article on pub med about the possible repurposing of ivermectin as a cancer drug n incorporated it in my treatment. My psa immediately dropped to.11 after two weeks n then down to.10 the following two weeks, subsequently got off all the drugs n now am only on ivermectin. Not promoting it just stating my results, good luck 🍀

I also had the fatigue, shortness of breath n couldn’t run up the hills like I used to, not to mention all the other activity I do as well…

[Izzygirl1 in reply to Nfler]

Wow that's great! I was getting nervous that he hasn't gone lower then 1.24 and now it is 1.78 I would rather it be below 1.

read the pub med article as it states ivermectin’s ability to enhance pca therapies as it did mine..😇🫶

Hi, could I ask what form you took the Iver in? I can only purchase it in horse paste in the UK.

Sounds like a good result. Are you metastatic? How much I'mectin per day?

[Nfler in reply to dhccpa]

I was only to 3 lymph nodes, 2 are gone n last one is half the size now. Rad was great but Ivm really kicked in. I personally do 12mg/ day 4x/wk as a maintenance but started at 42mg/ every other day for a total of six doses initially. I’m also monitored by my MO and only can say that’s what worked for me…

[Exrunner in reply to Nfler]

Did you have a prescription for Ivermectin of did you buy it over the counter?

Thanks

It has taken almost 6 years for my husband's to get down below 1. Started at >677 and has very slowly gone down- with a few small upticks here and there. Never been below 1 before this past March. You can see his numbers in my profile. We've always looked at the 'trend'. As long as it is stable and/or trending down. He definitely has more fatigue than he used to but trying to stay active as well as workout with weights has helped. He's currently 55 yrs old.

See if this helps...posted to another Brother's query which is the same as yours...Rick

First, PSA doubling time matters; see this podcast on PSADT...

healthunlocked.com/active-s....

...but you need to know which PSA values to use when calculating it! You cant use PSA values if TET (testosterone) levels are moving up or down. Check out Min 15:45 in the following podcast (and see what other things you can pull out of the case histories).

Next, you can slow down PSA increases with Sulforaphane...

...I use the following supplements, just in case you are interested.

Last, even Vitamin D3 helps. See this podcast.

So, PSA alone wont help. You need Genomic and may need Germline Testing as well, to help you make the best decisions...there are no guarantees, but the legitimate medical testing that is done and documented can help us make the best call we can for our individual case histories...good luck. Rick
