Latest PSA! Undetectable

My latest (11/8) PSA was <0.1 ng/mL. This is my third in a row that was undetectable since finishing chemotherapy and radiation.

All of my other labs look excellent and my Hemoglobin A1c was 5.4% Consistent exercise has contributed to that greatly and also how well I’m feeling

I am feeling very fortunate and grateful.

Thank you to everyone for your support!!

Bob

Congrats. I completed my chemo and radiation 2 years ago. Labs have been < since. Had scans last week and NED. Certainly with fatigue, but exercising daily certainly seems to help.

Great news AlvinSD ...my PSA is also <0.1 as on 11/8...Started at PSA of 21 in May 2023 when I was diagnosed with mPC (4+4). I am currently on Lupron & Abi/Pre. Plan to do radiation in Jan. Feeling good so far.

Great news!

And just a tiny heads up - if you stop the Lupron (Eligard) and your testoserone starts to recover you may see an uptick in PSA. It's expected and it's normal for anyone who hasn't had an RP. I was undetectable for over 16 months while I was getting Lupron. After I stopped and the final shot wore off - my T started to recover. At the same time my PSA became detectable. There was a brief bounce, then after about 6 months it settled to 0.22 +/-0.02 - and it's been that way for about 2 years. So - if that happens - don't panic.

Wishing you continuing great PSA reads!
