My husband was diagnosed in Jan. 2022 by his Urologist for Stage 3b Highly Aggressive (label they gave it) prostate cancer, Gleason score of 8, into seminal vessicles, but no mets seen on PET Scan. Received Lupron for 18 months and Casodex 50mg was initiated immediately and continued once a day

PSA rise
I have been undetectable for about 2 years. On Dec 6 my PSA was 0.04 then on March 19 it was 0.21 so this indicates a rise in Mets. Is this too low for a scan? What should be the next steps?

Help with Results
I just updated my Bio and just received my PSMA Gallium scan results. Appointment is tomorrow to review but from what I see even with a low PSA of 0.052 a lymph node lit up which is rare. Is this correct and given this my guess SOC is whole pelvic adjuvant radiation and higher dose to lymph nodes or?

PSA rise due to physical activity
My PSA has been rising slowly.. 4-5 points in 3 months. Until January when it went from 29 to 43 in one month. By end of February it was still at 43. I feel fine! Here is a quote from the National Library of Medicine: “Physical activity releases prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from the prostate

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (

Short-term tactics to keep PSA in check
Good morning fellow warriors. My docetaxel adventure was without side effects but gave an ineffective response. The cabazitaxel/carboplatin combo was effective but brutal in its attack on my immune system. Having had no treatment at all while my body tries to recover, I'm currently being considered by

Chemo or no/not yet?
59 years old. Metastatic/high volume. PSA hit 366 before starting Abiraterone and Degarelix. Start Lupron next week. Negative on DNA test. Will see what PSA looks like next week after a month of ADT. My question chemo, no chemo or wait on chemo? Onco and Rad Onco both seemed to have a very soft attitude

new PSA
my PSA rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

6 months after radiation
I had SBRT in September and all went well. My semen was a bit brownish at first, but now has become bloody red. I went for blood work and my PSA has dropped significantly and I do not have an infection. I’m wondering what the issue could be…seems like it would have cleared by now?

PSA Bounce After Radiation Therapy
I am trying to understand PSA bounce or change in PSA levels after RT and have found two studies useful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7465291/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-021-00387-4 Some analysts distinguish between PSA bounce and biological recurrence, and see a possibility

Update and about to start Radiation
Hi all - just a summary so far. Have been doing the triplet and recently finished the 6 sessions of chemo. Had my CT and Bone scans and then follow up with MO on Friday. All is as we expect - nothing shown in CT. Bone scan shows no new "uptake" in the mets places and nothing new. PSA at .41. I am
