PSA Rising
RP 2 years and four months ago. PSA went from <.02 to currently .27, Testosterone at about 600+ Since surgery, there has been no intervention. It looks like it is time to take action. Does the group have any suggestions?

provenge before metastasis
Is there a current Cancer Center that is a leader in immunotherapy Would there be any benefit in taking provenge after treatment when your PSA is low?

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

psa risen 3 points since diagnosis. Does it mean cancer spread?
I am so grateful for this website as I am learning so much every day about this disease from all of you. My husband started his first injection of Degerelix today and they took his blood work . His psa from April which was 11.4 today was 14.3. I’m hoping this doesn’t mean the cancer is spreading. Could

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered

Nubeqa vs Zytiga?
Hi all, got notice last evening that Nubeqa will no longer be covered by my drug provider. Apologies I should have said this in original post: What happened is Nova Scotia just in February approved Nubeqa, this then means that I would have to apply for my insurance to cover it INSTEAD of the compassion

Latest Update
Hey Warriors - just had my 12 week blood work since the end of chemo and then also radiation. PSA now at .08 - thats the lowest I have had since contacting this prick of a disease. End of chemo was .52 and .48 so pretty significant. The plan now is to test again every 12wks/3mths and act only upon

PSA undetectable
After surgery PSA should be undetectable. What does it mean. Once the lab give 0.03, once 0.04. I guess it s the lab (standard error of the machine), but what is the limit of the lab and when should i consider that THERE IS a PSA. Why is PSA still detectable after surgery should nt it be 0.00 ?

PSA back up after radiation
After 4 .5 weeks of radiation PSA dropped from 6.6 to 3.46 but on 6/3 went up to 5.88. I have MO appt 6/11 and he has previously indicated that docetaxel could be the next step. Following last PSA increase switched from Zytiga to Xtandi. I am guessing that a PET scan is in order and maybe SBRT prior

Provenge immunotherapy
After 5.5 years on Lupron (no Zytiga, Xtandi, Daro, etc.), my PSA hit its highest points ever (1.92), although I'm still not 2 points above my lowest reading of 0.5 (only one of those). I'm metastatic and was at diagnosis, so still have prostate. I've been researching Provenge a bit, and understand that

Methionine restricted diet for recurring PSA and positive PMSA pet scan w/ 1 bone met
quick to the point. PSMA pet showed 1 L2 small met and some lymph activity. My PSA went from 2.01 to 2.9 in one month. after doing some research on diets and supplements . I found that the keto diet is extremely high in the amino acid methionine and I made it worse trying to reduce my blood pressure

PSA continues rise...PSMA remains good
To briefly review, now 69 years old, had RP at Hopkins in Feb 2018. Gleason 4+5. Margins clear. Organ-confined. PSA undetectable for two years...then an ill-advised and reckless PSA holiday for three years until Aug 2023 when PSA measured in the range of 7. First PSMA that same month entirely negative

Pluvicto
My dad had his 1st pluvicto injection beginning of May He had his PSA taken 3 weeks later. It went from 16 to 23. I’m hoping this isn’t an indicator that this will fail too. He has been dealing with prostate cancer for 20+ years -prostate removed - watching till number doubled - maybe 5 years

Not sure what’s happening. It’s not vomit. He keeps spitting blood with Saliva without his knowledge, no pain. Not a dental issue either. It looks like clot. No clue. Please help with your advice.

Will Estradiol 0.025 patch for hot flushes cause cancer to come out of hiding?
Hi My husband has been taking Effexor for hot flushes and it does not seem to be effective any longer . He increased the dose from 37.5 to 75 mg and that did not seem to make a difference. He has been off Effexor now and the oncologist is saying to try the low dose Estradiol patch . To be honest we
