Questions after scan results
I have just been told my cancer has returned this time to my liver mainly. I wasn’t aware my ca 125 levels had increased from 36 end September to 350 recently. I had always been told my bloods were good and didn’t question further. When I shared symptoms earlier this month of cramping etc my oncologist

PSA still undetectable and testosterone doubles to 1.6
Just an update as I yesterday was blood test day. I’m continuing with the Apalutamide monotherapy, still enjoying working full time and just back from an Italian lake holiday. So no movement on my PSA but interesting to see testosterone creeping up ( 11 months since my last Zoledex injection so 8

Rising PSA
I turned 87 just 3 days' ago. My QOL is still good: no pain, and a lot of physical activity. Fatigue is mostly annoying, but I generally can work through it. The issue is my concern with a slowly rising PSA. Today's blood test showed a PSA of 1.5. How concerned should I be, and are there steps to

How do I update my bio?
My bio on Health Unlocked website needs updating. How do I do that? I can't seem to update my bio from 2023. I'm interested in adding PSAs and testosterone quarterly blood tests from 2023 and 2024. My good new is that my PSA has been 0.01 "nearly undetectable" for more than a year. My MO said don't

Revised Plot of PSA vs Testosterone: Estrogen vs Lupron ADT

ng/dL)
. So, my X-axis was off by a factor of 10. Here is the revised plot. The exciting discovery is that the

2nd pBAT cycle results: AR upregulation? Double strand breaks? Darolutamide?
Started 2nd pBAT cycle on 4-22-24 with a PSA of 0.62 measured 2 days earlier. All 6 injections were 50 mg eod of T propionate with .625 mg letrozole every 5th day as an aromatase inhibitor.

PSMA Scan to be scheduled - thank you Tall Allen
I want to thank Tall Allen for his suggestion that I see an oncologist. I had a RP followed by radiation in 2013. My PSA was undetectable until 2021, when it started to rise. This week I saw a radiation oncologist (whom I found through a friend) to ask him a lot of questions and to get his advice.

Elevated CA125 from 11 to 156.
My CA 125 is normally around 11 and that’s elevated to 156 within six months. My oncologist has done PET scan, CAT scan, MRIs, and has found no tumors. I just wanted to know if is there anyone that has elevated CA, 125 that are in remission.

Interpreting blood tests
I've been on ADT for 4 months in preparation for RT and then HDR BT. I have localised G8 with an initial PSA of 8.1 Prior to commencing ADT, my PSA inexplicably dropped to 4.94 but then rose to 5.37 within 2 months. Anyway, here are my test results before starting ADT; These are Aussie measurements

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?

Enzalutamide vs Lupron Survival
This shows the main results of the EMBARK trial, comparing Metatasis Free Survival and PSA Recurrence Free Survival for three groups: Enzalutamide only, Lupron only, or combined Enzalutamide + Lupron. The best survivals were for the combination of Enzalutamide + Lupron. Enzalutamide is a 2nd generation
