Update Castrate Resistant Metastatic Cancer
My metastatic prostate cancer was diagnosed castrate resistant on November 1 with PSA of 0.8, which was doubling in about two months while on Lupron. On November 10 I started Abiraterone + prednisone. By December 1 my PSA dropped to 0.44 in 22 days on Abiraterone. In the next 35 days it went down to

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
Hello, I wanted to provide an update on my husband's progression and, hopefully, some of you may have some knowledge to share or have a similar profile. His psa has risen from <0.04 since RP for Stage 3b to 0.06 in 9/23. A recheck a week later showed a rise to 0.1. This was followed by a drop to <.04

Actium 225 after Pluvicto
I have had 6 infusions of Pluvicto, the final one being in March. Initially the results were good with a significant decrease in PSA. Over the past several months my PSA is rising and a recent PSMA scan has shown some spreading of the cancer. I am interested in Actium 225, but am unsure if I can take

PSA suppression
My PSA lows tend to be around 3.3, and it occurs to me that some might think it odd that I don't drive it lower. I think it is very common for men on ADT to draw too much comfort from a significant PSA reduction, if not a near-zero PSA. I have witnessed men misinterpret a dramatic drop in PSA as

Update On Eclipse Trial-another failure. Has LU-177 worked for anyone?
In 2010 at the age of 59, I had Da Vinci surgery with a Gleason 4+5=9 and PSA of 9. Post surgical biopsy showed all margins clear with no seminal vesicle involvement and Gleason post-op score was changed to a 4+3=7. Subsequent PSA was non-detectable as tested every three months for the first two years

Recent PSA test result no longer “undetectable.” What’s next?
After 5+ years of measuring “undetectable” with my PSA results I recently measured 0.24 NG/ML which I’m assuming my PCA is becoming active again. I see my oncologist on Monday, 8 Jan for a follow-up appt. Can anyone share with me what the likely next course of action will be?

What’s after Lu-177 in Vancouver, BC?
Hi there, I’m located in Vancouver, BC 🇨🇦. My dad is on a clinical trial and after over a decade with this disease he has failed Zytiga, Xtandi, docetaxel, and is now on his 4/6 Lu-177 infusion. He’s castration-resistant and metastatic. PSA decreased considerably after the first Lu-177 infusion but

Rising PSA 1 year after RALP
I've been getting ultra sensitive PSA tests every three months. These are the last three scores: 0.015 0.017 0.026 (First PSA test after surgery was <0.1) I am worried. Frightened, actually. Margins were not clear on my surgical biopsy, though gleason was only 3+3. Two biopsies prior

PSA Bounce
Hello and happy New year distinguished gentlemen. I was wondering if I may please get your input on my latest PSA which bounced from 1.2 to 1.6. Why did this happen and is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks so much. Regards.

Zytiga
I've now added Zytiga-1000mg about 3 weeks ago and it has brought my PSA down to .98 from 1.8 with only Orgovyx. Is there anything I can do to bring it down still lower, ideally to an undetected level? Poolover PS I'm 86, stage 4, Gleason9.

Dutasteride and PSA dropping
I started taking dustasteride about 1 month ago because of high DHT and my PSA dropped from 10 to 5.5. I've read that you are supposed to double the PSA to get an "equivalent" non-dutasteride level of 11. Does anyone understand why we are supposed to double the PSA value when taking dutasteride?

PSA dropping and % free ratio rising - why?
OK, so as you can see from my Bio, I live in Australia and was due to start my HT this month. However, on Dec 5th, we decided to do another PSA test and surprisingly it had dropped from 8.1 in July to 4.9, so I thought maybe we should get another MRI to see what is going on. I had the MRI only a few
