strange drop in PSA
My PSA dropped from 1.03 in July 2023 to 0.248 in February 2024. It's never been anywhere near this low, since I began getting tested in my 50s, even before I was diagnosed in 2008 (Gleason 7). I'm 77. I'm not on ADT, don't have metastatic disease. Since HIFU in 2015, which was a hemi-ablation but left

PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning

IMRT WITHOUT THE JELL
I'm scheduled for IMRT Radistion without the jell. Doc says the jell may push cancer microscopic cells away from the prostate. He said the cancer is about to protrude through the capsule and microsopic cancer cells could be out of the capsule and did not want to take a chance of putting the jell in and

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update 2/18/24
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has PSA from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER, PSA up to 1.48 on 1/29/24 then 2.48 on 2/15/24. Waiting MO response but anticipate PET scan, radiation and/or switch to Xtandi. Was hoping to ride the Zytiga therapy as long as possible but I may be there now.

Overcoming anxiety about going out
Since I started on immunotherapy in January, I've had a few setbacks. I've had episodes of really bad pain - diverticulitis, I've had to have fluid drained from my lung and around my heart - both made me feel very unwell. I now have atrial fibrilation which seems to be a side issue of lung cancer

Metastatic prostate cancer in the lungs
Radical prostatectomy in 2003 with PSA of 3.9. PSA slowly rose to .07 in 2023. PET scan in May, 2023 found nodules in my lungs with the largest being 1.4 cm. Needle biopsy identified it as metastatic adenocarcinoma from prostatic origin. 5 sessions of 50Gy cyberknife treatments on the 1.4 cm nodule
