Undetectable PSA
Nalakrats and Tall_Allen Nalakrats, I saw your reply to JolleySprings. Is there something significant about the 20 month time frame (having PSA under 0.10)? I have 16 months of undetectable PSA with about five more months of treatment with keytruda and Lupron. That will finish up my two years of

How quickly did it take depo-medrone steroid injection to work for your Lupus swelling?
I had a depo-medrone systemic injection for my lupus swelling. I was advised it should take effect 1-2 days, unless I misunderstood. I would be so grateful to know how long this steroid has taken for others to reduce the inflammation.

Zytiga and Prednisone dosage
I’m currently taking 5mg prednisone daily along with my 1000mg abiraterone. I’ve noticed that my blood pressure has been creeping up… averaging maybe 140/80. Is this a case where I would maybe be a candidate for 10 mg of prednisone instead of just 5mg? I see my oncologist next week and plan on asking

First post-ADT followup. So far so good ... but it's early
I just had my first followup with my MO since I started my ADT vacation. Just to review: - Dx'd in October 2017. PSA 56. I had some mild BPH-like symptoms but nothing else. I've never had any other symptoms. The prostate biopsy confirmed the Dx. All cores showed cancer. One core was Gleason 9. A couple

Chemo as first treatment
Is there a reason as to why some patients go on ADT (Lupron, Firmagon, etc) and Chemo instead of a different path at the beginning of PC diagnosis? Background- my husband was first dx with stage 4 with PSA 350 and bone mets throughout (ribs, spine, pelvis, shoulders, skull). He started on Docetaxal immediately

New Member Scouting for answers; To radiate now or not

Phosphate Levels Dropping
Should I be worried. Almost one year since last Lupron Injection, so six months approx since Lupron free. Feeling much better since Lupron is out of my system, and latest bloods show that PSA is still <0.1 and T is 14.6nmol/L. Unfortunately, over the past three blood tests my Phosphate levels have

What does a high Chromoganin A,S test mean?
I have been on lupron for 5 1/2 years. My PSA has been slowly going up. PSA 3 months ago at uro was 0.23, last week it was 0.22. I went to Hollings Cancer Center too see MO for the first time. PSA was 0.3. One of the test was Charomoganin. My number was 145ng/ml , the range should be <93/ml. Does

Lifelong ADT vs Adjuvant ADT and other questions
I'm confused regarding Lifelong ADT vs. Adjuvant ADT, what my options are. Recently at the Mayo - please read my profile, it's a quick read. I met with Kwon and he indicated I could end ADT in 6 months (that was in September). OK, that confused me as he initially told me 2 years when he originally

Looking for suggestions
I had a RP in 1999 and PC under control for 20 years through Lupron, Casodex, Radiation, Chemo infusion and Trelstar. In 2020 PSA went up to 25 and started Zytiga and PSA went to 126 immediately which was when I started Chemo. Initially PSA went back down to 25 and after completing Chemo in April 2021
