Unexpected Dive in PSA
Was diagnosed with Gleason 7 (4+3) in June. PSA was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high PSA, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my PSA checked again

advice for docetaxel
I have read several posts of those who have done docetaxel and done a little research on the Internet and YouTube to try to offset side effects. I am 51 years old and was diagnosed five years ago with advanced prostate cancer Gleason score 9 and a few spots to the bones. pelvic area, spine and ribs.

PSA testing comparison question
I know that PSA results can vary, particularly if processed by different labs. Knowing this, I do have a question. Quick recap, I completed 20 rounds of radiation at UCLA with Kishan back in April of this year. At the same time, I began 6 months of ADT. Over the past few months, while getting my

PSMA scans and radiation of oligometastases
I need some advice on a subject that I know has been covered before: PSMA scans and radiation of oligometastases. G4+5=9, RP in 2014. Positive margins, IMRT and ADT in 2015. PSA undetectable until 2019, now slowly rising at 0.40, doubling time 11 months. My questions/concerns about the scan

Confused by Decipher Test
Hi all, new here. I signed up to finish reading an article and then saw these posts in an email to me. What a great resource for men with prostate cancer. My PSA went up to 4.4 and then had an MRI which showed a two suspicious lesions (PI-RADS 4 and a PI-RAD 3). Had a biopsy 3 weeks ago and it showed

Biopsy results in 2 weeks - questions?
I've finally got an appointment to get the results of my prostate biopsy on Monday in 2 weeks time. It's taken quite a while. My PSA was 12 and an MRI scan showed a dodgy area on the front of the prostate. My PI-RADS score was 5. I was then booked for a biopsy which got deferred 3 times. I was told I

liver biopsy- what does it mean.
Oncologist doctor ordered the biopsy last year but never really explained it. He only said that the cancer was caused by the prostate cancer. Which was a good sign. Immunohistochemical stains demonstrate tumor cells are positive for NKX3.1, PSA, TTF-1 and focally for CK20, while negative for CK7

Conflicting MRI vs PSMA scans
Well it appears that the radiologist who did my MRI was overly cautious. The report said I had a met on my left pelvis, one on my right pelvis, one on my sacrum, additional cancer in my prostate region and sclerotic foci in my pelvic region. Traumatic. We followed that up with a PSMA scan 10 days

If I heard this 5 years ago, I could have saved my life

PSA Test
Hello everybody Where can I find good information about the readings on PSA tests. As I have posted earlier, my husband had the prostate removed, developed a rezidiv after 5 years, was treated with Proton (based on Hydrogen) radiation in Heidelberg January this year. PSA went down from 0,8 to 0,3.

Go-forward Treatment Plan
First of all, I've been an avid reader of this forum over the past 2 years, and wanted to express my gratitude towards the amount of knowledge everyone has been sharing on this site. My father (62 y.o., very healthy) was diagnosed with aggressive PCa (Gleason 9, PSA 58) in Sep 2021, and underwent RALP

PSA 9 , age 66 , is there an alternative to biopsy ?
My friend’s PSA went from 5 to 9 in 8 months . He asked me if there is an alternative to biopsy . I told him that there may be something new since I last had a biopsy in 2009.

Delayed Lynparza (Olaparib)Reaction
I started Lynparza (Olaparib) on 5/19 (PSA 172). By 7/5 (+7 weeks ) my PSA was 222 and it was decided to discontinue the drug, get a port, and prepare for chemo. At the first chemo appt on 8/10 (+12 weeks), the blood test showed that my PSA had fallen to 194. The general literature says you evaluate

ED & zero libido
Three years on from diagnosis and nearly three year of no sexual function. A big loss between my wife and I thought we don’t really talk about it. My GP prescribes viagra but without the desire, little effect. Also given a pump but something makes me resistant to try it. Having said all this I have

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
Before and after radiation therapy, dad was taking Bicalutamide 50 mg and Alfuzosin50 mg together with a quarterly Leuprorelin injection. This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance
