T up, uPSA dips again

[NanoMRI]

Hopefully an encouraging share!

Self-directed T and uPSA results in today. This past April my T was down to 350, today 422; no supplements. This past March my uPSA reached a high of 0.037. Today 0.029; no ADT. Overall, my uPSA has been holding very low stable 0.03X range since June 2021, with increasing number of dips back into 0.02X range.

Back in May I upped my fitness game with serious weight lifting, focusing on regaining, building strength. Yesterday I achieved this old (67YO man's PB on legs and today PB on bench, with noticeable new bulk.

Quite interesting is that I have fourth of four doublet immunotherapy treatments for metastatic melanoma next week; no mentionable side effects so far. Mid-treatment imaging indicates 50% reduction in singular liver met.

I am post RP and salvage RT done in 2016, then salvage extended pelvic lymph node surgery in 2018. I did one year on Bicalutamide, 150mg daily, that ended April 2019. To date, no ADT nor chemo.

Grateful beyond words! All the best to all of us!

Awesome news. I think a bit of a celebration is in order.

funny you say - I traveled by air to met up with a couple of buddies this past weekend, and found my way to buying a new truck to pull my RV. Thank you!

Fantastic Nano! Very nice results from your salvage treatment since RP. Very interesting history, thanks for sharing. Keep up the PT and good diet!

Great result! And no ADT!

What's the immunotherapy protocol and type?

[NanoMRI in reply to dhccpa]

No ADT yet - I am forever mindful my circumstances may change. For metastatic melanoma, four doublet treatments, 21 day intervals, Nivolumab (Nivo/Opdivo) )+ Ipilimumab (Ipi/Yervoy). Then common protocol is Opdivo for few years or life - not unlike ADT and considerations for vacations. My fourth of four is next week. I am beginning my education of singular treatment protocol going forward.
