Why is my PSA so low?
For about 9 years after my last HIFU, my PSA hovered in the 1.0 - 2.0 range, and testosterone around 200 or so. That's what they were in July 2023. But in January 2024, PSA plunged to 0.248 (T wasn't measured then). In early March, PSA continued down to 0.148, and testosterone crashed to 60, and free

Starting Orgovyx
I've been taking mono xtandi for roughly 8 months. My most recent PSA showed and increase from 0.27 to 0.53. My MO and I decided it was time to resume ADT. Surprisingly, he was able to get Orogovyx approved and I started it last night. I'm panning the group to check if the half dozen or so SEs are

Orgovyx after 12 months
Just reaching the 12 month mark on Orgovyx. Lately, it is beginning to kick my ass. Just feel weak, depressed and unmotivated to exercise. Getting tired of hot flashes. I have put on about 15 lbs. since beginning ADT prior to radiation therapy. I was diagnosed GG3 (4+3=7), T2bN0M0. Lesion on one half

To radiate or not to radiate?
My metastatic prostate diagnosis was established three years ago by biopsy (Gleason 9) and PMSA that showed "innumerable osseous lesions" throughout my skeleton. I was started on ADT and initially responded well. However, my PSA has now risen to 0.7. So my oncologist ordered a repeat PET/PMSA that

Looking for new treatment
It looks like my current treatment of chemo is not doing the job. First off, 🤫 it has been very rough on my blood counts especially platelets. The low platelet count has resulted in four weeks between infusions (carboplatin, Cabazitaxel). Also, after 3 infusions my PSA is rising. What combination

First dose Lutetium and adding enzalutamide
Hi all My Dad was unfortunately unable to join the DB-1311 trial because he developed extreme pneumonitis from Keytruda that landed him in the ICU for 2 weeks about 2 years ago, so he is no longer able to use any immunotherapy treatments moving forward. We have exhausted most options now but have lutetium

Curious what you think?
Background: I have to take my wife for all her appointments - doctors, hair, etc. Her MO who treats her blood cancer seemed like a good doctor but I know nothing about blood cancer. So I went to her with my records for a consult with the idea it would be easier and less hassle if we could get appointments
