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?

Happy New Year and Update
Update: I took what I hope will be my last Lupron shot which will work until March 5 /24. I will have had 31 months of Lupron with mostly undetectable PSA. I will have had 29 months of Abiraterone at that point. Had IMRT radiation 24 months ago Both my MO and RO are interested in whether they have

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

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

Update on Prostate Cancer Vaccines that I follow... another year is gone...
Greetings FPC forum, It has been another year... and I would love to have better news... there is a new vaccine candidate to monitor, but the reality is that the system takes time... The system needs a revision in my opinion, but I digress... As I reviewed the last time, the vaccine trial for RhoVac's

EBRT - Is it the right thing and what to expect?
After DX in November 2018 with Stage IV and Gleason of 5+4 and 4+5, and 5 years of ADT of Lupron (then Orgovyx), prednisone 5mg, and Zytiga 250mg with low fat breakfast, my PSA stayed stable at 0.4 or 0.5. At end of 2013, PSA started rising to latest value of 0.84. Had PSMA PET Scan March 5, 2024

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

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

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.

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?

bicalutamide no longer as effective?
After more than two years of bicalutamide monotherapy and repeated PSA<0.1 I just received a 0.6. Before the bicalutamide my PSMA scan showed activity in only the seminal vesicle region. PSA was 2.5 at that time. Lupron had ceased being effective. Bicalutamide had a terrific response. I don’t think PSMA
