PSMA PET SCAN AND PSA
I had a disagreement with my RO today and wonder if he is right. My last PSMA PET Scan in Dec 2023 showed no progression. End January onwards I have an on off pain in the left ribcage area with an increasing frequency. To recap....PT3bN1Mx, RP in 2019, IMRT 2020 and on ADT for 30 months, currently completed

Dx 12/09, G4+3 Surgery 01/10 – Failed SRT 2nd quarter 2011 – Failed. Avodart worked for awhile. Eventually HT (Lupron + Casodex) in mid 2013. Worked great. Since then lengthy HT vacations 12/19/22-6/22/23 ---Orgovyx. Worked well so was able to stop...BUT NOW Starting to look like castrate resistance

Chemo Update March 27, 2024
I was treated with 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2017/2018 when I was HSPC and I responded exceptionally well. I have been CRPC since 2022 and have tried abiraterone and Radium 223 (Xofigo). I just completed 7 rounds of docetaxel again and PSA went from 105 to 3.1 after 4 rounds then started doubling. Now

PSMA Pet Scan results
My Dad has been on Abiraterone, Prednisone and Lupron for 2.5 years. He already had back in 2021 radiation to prostate, lymph nodes and 2 ribs. His PSA started going up and we just got the results from PSMA Pet Scan: “Highly PSMA positive tumor in the left prostate gland, increased in intensity and spatial

Final Pluvicto shot and things OK
I just had my 6th, and final, injection. Feeling well but everyone concerned with kidney function dropping -- hopefully transient and not an on-going trend, on the plus side this is the last time it has to deal with all that radioactive liquid. Chugging water and peeing like a champ! To review:

Accuracy of PSMA PET scan?
What would you venture to guess is the accuracy of the PSMA PET scan? How many of you showed "no spread" with your PSMA scan, but then learned via surgery or otherwise that there WAS spread which wasn't detected with the PSMA scan? And, how much better is the new Posluma scan vs Pylarify? My husband

Hypertension Stage 2, need advice.

FDG elements of PSMA scan
I had a FDG scan a few days ago . At the heart of my confusion is the function of FDG in giving a positive outcome to Pluvicto infusions. Is it a good thing to have lots of 'FDG Avid' showing up, or do you want those aspects of the scan to be as hidden as possible (so that the PSMA -Avid cells can be

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! Pleased to say I have and hope to have some more things to celebrate this year. I have just had written confirmation of my recent PSA test and a form to have another in one years time. It is still undetectable so pleased and I believe - though would have to look it up that

Post-op PSA jump .06 to 1.1
Hey guys, I'm not a math person, but this seems to be way more than "doubling." More like 18x? Not finding any literature online that addresses this big of a jump. What the...? My urologist is currently in Europe. Wondering if any of you have experienced that big of a jump and survived. (If you did

Dutasteride reduces PSA by 40% over 6 months
This companion chart from data reported in Moore (2017) compares PSA, at baseline and at 6 months, comparing placebo to Dutasteride. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. The cohort included Low and Intermediate Risk men, GS-6-7, baseline PSA = 6-7, median age 64 y.o

Time to PSA Nadir is related to progression-free-survival
This graph from Teoh (2014) plots the relationship between Time to PSA Nadir (months) versus Time to Progression (months) (i.e., Progression Free Survival). Cohort: ADT monotherapy (No RP or RT), all metastatic patients, median 74 y.o., GS = 8-10, N=419. A cubic spline curve fit matched the data points

Testosterone was slowly recovering after stopping all meds 8/10/2023 then started dropping!
It looked like Provenge and SBRT last October had lowered and stabilized my rapidly rising PSA to around 1.8 for three months. Then three weeks ago it mysteriously doubled in a month to 3.1 A new PSMA scan showed four new scattered bone mets appearing since last PSMA scan 3 months prior. Micro mets

Abiraterone seems to be working
An update on my situation. To review, I now appear to be castrate resistant after about 6 1/2 years of being castrate sensitive. My MO put me on Abiraterone, along the existing Lupron. I had my MO appt and my PSA has fallen from 4.5 to 2 after about 7 weeks on Abi. This is my second iteration with Abi

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22, PSA went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this? I'm guessing

Docetaxel - how many rounds did you have?
With my husband's recent PSA reading of 5 (down from 162 before we started chemo), it appears still to be working for him. Our MO plans to continue as long as it works and his body tolerates it. Other than being a couch potato and having digestive issues for one week out of three, he's doing okay.
