New Here. Overwhelmed.
48 yrs old. PSA Blood test from a physical came back with a reading of 100. Biopsy results came back with 2 Gleason 4+4's and the rest 4+3's earlier this week. Appointment with urologist Monday to discuss these results. I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared. What is the next step for me? Also does anyone

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
I am on ADT, lupron and Zytiga, at Kaiser Oakland. My latest PSA came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your PSA is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports

Chemo for an 86-year-old with stage 4 PC.
Started all this at 86, stage 4. 3 months on Orgovyx brought PSA from 72 to 1.8; next week I'm adding Zytiga, and if that helps and I can deal with this drug I'm going to press the MO to start me on Chemo. Do you think I'm setting myself up way too much?

Moved from Abi to Nubeqa and saw a PSA increase
I recently switched from Abiraterone/Prednisone to Nubeqa because of the high blood pressure that I had with Abi requiring additional BP meds. I was previously .058 a month ago when I switched and .109 today, almost double in a month. Any one with experience with this switch?

I am quite mad (not with anyone in particular). I had a steady decrease in PSA during my first 3 round of docetaxel. It was 15 before starting, 3 after the first infusion, 1.5 after the second, 1.01 after the third. Each time it was measure 3 weeks from the infusion (on the day before the next infusion

Slowly Rising PSA - Getting Nervous
It seems in the last 4 months it has been rising more. Doctors are waiting until in gets to the standard 0.2 before starting radiation. I do understand why they need to wait as the PSA isn't high enough yet for the risk/reward of treatment. 03/17/2023 0.029 04/22/2023 0.032 08/23/2023 0.046 12/07/2023

Enhancing my urinating experience?
Guys, Several weeks ago I started experiencing slow and weak urine stream for first time since diagnosis almost 6 years ago. This, coupled with rise in PSA, triggered my oncologist to order both MRI and PSMA scan. Would appear things are progressing and got referrals to radiation oncologist and urologist

When to do certain blood tests and why.
Just coming up on my 6 month anniversary of radiation and my 2 months prior to radiation and 4 months post Lupron while on radiation. So I have been off Lupron for 2 months. I had my annual physical yesterday and my GP had ordered complete blood panel with thyroid and PSA. There were no issues with blood

PSA slightly rose after 8 months undetectable
I am 57 and on ADT (Firmagon+Zytiga+Prednisone) after surgery in 2022 and 39 sessions of RT in 2023 (Jan Feb). Till now I has been undetectable but at November my bloodwork showed PSA risen to 0.04. Should I be concerned or could it be just random fluctuation? Thanks for your reactions.

0.04 PSA
Well after over a year of undetected my PSA has risen to 0.04. I will meet with oncology in a few weeks to discuss next steps. Perhaps a scan.

PSMA PET/CT scans.
No.1 scan showed 2 spots. After Radiation second scan negative but PSA rising from .15 to .7 over 6 months. How many can I have in a year? Other accurate scan alternatives?

Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s PSA continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a PSA of 4.7 His PSA today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal. Thanks

Should I be concerned about a PSA of 0.53 after SBRT treatment for one spot.
After 18 months of undetectable PSA (after ADT & 44 IMRT treatments) , my PSA started to rise this summer and was 2.66 at it's highest. My RO send me for a PSMA- Pet scan and he found one spot on T-10. 5 treatment with SBRT in Oct - Nov and now on Dec 6th my PSA was tested to
0.53.

Stopping Abi?
I meet with my MO Thursday. We will likely discuss coming off Abiraterone, as my 2 year anniversary is upcoming. Probably continue on Eligard for another year, following stampede trial. PSA reached undetectable early in my treatment and remains undetectable. SE. aren’t fun, but manageable. Don’t

Orgovyx with BAT Questions
Hi fellow BATMEN! I have questions on should i need to take Orgovyx continuously during BAT cycles. Orgovyx 120mg/day lowers T 57% by day 4 and 97% by day 15 with a loading dose of 360mg. Orgovyx once T is suppressed below 50ng it takes 49 WEEKS to move above 50ng. https://www.orgovyxhcp.com/efficacy
