Remission
In remission since May 2018. All PSA testing from oncologist has ranged from .04 to .05. Why not have my internist take my PSA yearly? Or is going to my oncologist for testing the better way to go?

Pluvicto damaging salivary glands?
Finished 6 rounds of Pluvicto 9-1-23. Now on ADT holiday since 1-1-24, psa unmeasurable so far. During the treatment, had increasingly serious drymouth and nasal congestion and irritation with bleeding, which I attributed to radiation damage. Since then, there has been some, slow improvement, but still

High Gleason score + .2 PSA
Want to share this link about when to start salvage radiation after surgery. Only a few years ago, the cutoff PSA for starting radiation was .5 Now, my doc and others want to start before it gets to .2 (I'm at .11, and I have a "risk factor" due to Gleason 9 score) https://www.cancernetwork.com/view

Signatera tumor dna test
Has anyone heard of using the Signatera test from Natera to detect the presence of prostate cancer recurrence when PSA is rising but the PSMA PET scan is negative?

PSA Dropped after 22 days of Zytiga
On Nov 1, my cancer was diagnosed as castrate resistant. Abiraterone and Prednisone was added to Lupron. On November 3 I had a Lupron shot and started Abiraterone and Prednisone on November 10. Today I had a PSA test. My PSA dropped from 0.8 on November 1 to 0.44 today. I was not expecting such dramatic

PSA trippled since last Lupron infusion
My PSA was 0.05 between February 2023 and June 2023, then in September it ticked higher to 0.06 and at yesterday's Lupron injection it was 0.17. Should I be concerned? Anybody with similar experience: what did you do? Am I CR or still CS? Should I ask for Lu-177/Pluvicto ASAP? Thanks for reading.

Symptoms of PsA
Hello I wondered if anyone could share with me the symptoms of PsA? Although I have been told that I've probably had this for a while, the only sign, for years, was two slightly swollen toes which at times were a little sore. Well that's what I thought, until I started to realise that some foot pain

Any experience with Xtandi (enzolutamide).
The long story is in another post. Short story is the PC metastasized to the brain and they added Xtandi to the Lupron shots , as it's the only drug that will go to the brain. It seems to be working, Scans and PSA are where they should be and symptoms are more discouraging than debilitating. The

How prostate cancer transforms into aggressive NEPC following treatment with anti-androgen therapy.
This could be a game changer as it could stop PCa from progressing. Science is going to save us. The development of effective anti-androgen therapies for prostate cancer is a major scientific advance. However, some men who receive these targeted treatments are more likely to develop a deadly treatment-resistant

Low Volume Low PSA Metastatic PC.
When my Oncologist refers to Low volume, Low PSA Oglimetastic PC, what is he saying about my disease? I’ve been oo Abiraterone followed by Xtandi with Lupron every 3 months and Zometa every 6.
