Newly diagnosed researching lifestyle changes
Hi there, Had a overall physical of everything which included PSA which was 6 in 2016 and didn't put any attention to it and ignored it, nobody I spoke with who saw the report said to do anything. No family history of prostate cancer that I know of. Now 7 years later age 64, PSA 18, Free PSA 11%

Life Expectancy
My father was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer four years ago. Initially, he underwent radiation for a few spots on his ribs and immediately began ADT/Xtandi treatment for two years. His PSA dropped to 0.001, prompting his medical oncologist to recommend a medication vacation. For two years, he

drug vacation
Who had PSA level come back all the way down after a drug vacation? I want to do a holiday when my Lupron wears off in a couple months. PSA now is .053. Been on Lupron and abi for six years.

Staring at my unopened bottle of Orgovyx
Well, D-day (or maybe O-day) has arrived (thank you FED-X). I'm about to do a swan dive into my battle against my PCa. After a week of searching for this stuff, my clinic found it in Louisville Kentucky at a pharmacy called Onco360. Not exactly a neighborhood corner market with me living on an island

Cancer Risk vs %Free PSA Ratio
Here's a plot of the Risk (probability) of getting prostate cancer versus the % Free PSA / Total PSA ratio, for three different ages: 55, 65 and 75 y.o.. Interestingly, the PCa risk decreases as the % Free PSA ratio increases. All men who have their PSA measured should ask for the

PSA Doubling-Time
This plot shows the Cumulative Risk of Death from All-Causes for men with prostate cancer versus Time from Negative Bone Scan (without curative treatment). The different lines show the effect of different PSA doubling times (DT), ranging from DT 15 months. The lines are essentially straight lines

PSMA PET Scan Frequency?
Hello forum members. This is my first post but have learned so much here, thanks to the contributors on this site. My husband’s last and only PSMA PET scan was 1.5 years ago showing 6 mets in small bones after PSA consistently rose a year after radiation. The standard ADT treatment was prescribed

PSA rising on Triplet Therapy after <18m
Hi all. Hope you are keeping your spirits high. This is a follow up to a post I made in 2022 about my father. I haven't posted since, which reflects the period of relative normalcy that followed the commencement of ADT (triplet therapy) at MSK. I want to pause to appreciate that since I know most of

PSA not dropping with cabazitaxel
See my profile for history. Have had 8 good years after Docitaxal, Lupron and 4 years of Zytiga. But mets's started up again in May, 2023. PSA went up to 36. Took 5 rounds of Docitaxal but not working. PSA 46 in December. MO prognosis is 1-1.5 yrs. Switched to cabazitaxel but after 3 rounds PSA is now

I am a 70 year old diagnosed in 8/21 with G9 on biopsy with initial imaging negative for metastatic disease. Underwent RP in 10/21 with seminal vesicle involvement.

How long does SBRT to two lymph nodes continue to lower PSA?
Just wondering…does SBRT continue to drop PSA for any length of time? Or is it five sessions and it is what it is then? Curious if I can see further PSA reduction after 5 sessions to one node, then 5 to a second node. No prostate. See the treating RO in a couple of days, but thought I would ask

Rising PSA
What are the most Accurate scans for detecting hot spots of cancer? Husband has had several PSMA scans and CT with contrast yet nothing shows up. He had one lymph show up in 2017 on an Auxium scan and it was radiated. 7 years later PSA rising… up to 14. Yet scans show nothing definitive. CT with

strange drop in PSA
My PSA dropped from 1.03 in July 2023 to 0.248 in February 2024. It's never been anywhere near this low, since I began getting tested in my 50s, even before I was diagnosed in 2008 (Gleason 7). I'm 77. I'm not on ADT, don't have metastatic disease. Since HIFU in 2015, which was a hemi-ablation but left
