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

Anyone tried cabazitaxel (Jevtana) monotherapy?
If you've tried cabazitaxel [u]

PSA +
Is a PSA increase from .13 to .20 a concern? I'm on Eligard and Zytiga & Prednisone + Xgeva.

Looking For Prostate Cancer Survivors For Friendship And/Or Dating
I am a 65 year old prostate cancer survivor of almost 10 years. I did have a small scare during COVID and had to undergo 36 radiation treatments. There was no metastasis and there has been no indication of cancer metastasizing since. My PSA has been 0.04 since the treatment ended. I know it sounds weird

What do you think?
I’ve been on Lupron and Xgeva since 2014 and have had many other treatments along the way. As my PSA rose I found my best treatment was Xtandi. I had pretty good results from 2017 to 2020 , then my PSA moved upward again. Looks like I’m going to fail with Nubeqa, which I have been on for 2 1/2 months

First PSA test post radiation and Orgovyx
My husband had his first PSA test today… about a month after 28 proton radiation treatments, and over two months on Orgovyx… Result: <0.10 This seems really good to us! ( last PSA was 46.6 before treatment) Does it sound like a good result to all of you at this stage? Meeting with medical oncology
