Ten Months After All Treatments Ended
My Oncologist stopped my Eligard injections in October of 2022. My August 2023 bloodwork shows that my testosterone has risen from 2.0 to 10.0 in that time. My PSA was <0.1 ten months ago and is now 0.1 (Canadian units). I know that this cancer is a long game, but given my diagnosis in 2020, I am happy

nubequa
Question for anyone taking Nubequa. How long did it take to get PSA nondectable… or did it ever reach that low point? My husband began with it & Lupron in January. PSA was 14 and 6 months later only down to 4.3 He does not have a prostate … Journey began in 2017. All clear at time of surgery. Biochemical

Update post follow up PSMA PET/CT
Just updated my profile to include recent events. In brief, in March 2023 I had a PSMA PET/CT which Dr. Kwon at Mayo clinic somehow got my insurance to pay for even though my PSA was undetectable. It defined a abdominal retro-aortic mass that was significantly avid. Underwent 4 weeks of standard

Any advice for a specialist in NYC to monitor my post-RP PSA?
I'm moving cross-country to a new job in New York City soon, so I am going to need someone to monitor my PSA. I had a RP a bit more than 3 years ago. My PSA was always <0.06 for the first two years, and over the last year or so the numbers have wavered between <0.06 and 0.03. So, still "undetectable"

Thank you and more questions

No treatment. No faith. No hope.
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years ago at age 56. I have decided to not have treatment since my doctor said I would never be able to have an erection again, and as a gay man that would be a living hell to have much desire but no outlet. I have no faith in anything or anyone, much less a higher

After my 3rd LU 177I&T injection my PSA had become nondetectable, and the nuclear bone scans could did not shiw any tumors. Originally had three tumors for spine two very small and one medium. They seem to have disappeared. Given the danger of unnecessary toxins from a fourth injection, the question

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

Calcium channel blocker dosage
Hi all, I am on Cordilox (AKA Verapamil) which is a calcium channel blocker. Currently taking 2x40 mg twice a day = 160mg/day. Cardiologist suggested I change to one SLOW RELEASE 180mg tablet/day. When I asked. why he kind of said it will result in more even levels of the drug through the day. He

PSMA Pylarify Test
Finally getting a PSMA Pylarify test after a PSA rise from 0.64 to 0.90 in 11 weeks. Should be interesting. No symptoms from the cancer so far. At the current PSA level it would appear there is an almost 90% chance of locating cancer somewhere. Also of some great interest to the doctor(s) is my status

Intermittent ADT
Hi all,I am wondering what are your views on intermittent ADT? PSMA Pet scan has revealed one met in my ribs...it was treated with SBRT. I was given a 3 month Lupron shot which reduces my PSA to 0.24 ug/l. I'm considering going on IADT....6 months of ADT followed by 6 months break and repeat. Anyone

Living life after a prostatectomy
In 2021 was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I went through the operation and 2 months later lost my spouse of almost 50 years. Obviously, I had a lot put on my plate at one time. I'm on hormone therapy and it's dropped my PSA from 1 to .1. I would love to talk to someone who is going through the same
