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

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.

PSMA PET Looks Good But PSA Rising
Hello, I am hoping someone can help us understand what we might be missing prior to meeting with MO this week. My husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with mets to pelvic lymph node and a few spots in bones in early January 2022 at 56 years old. He was successfully treated with Triplet

Declining red blood cells.
This Poollover, and I'm stage 4 prostrate cancer. My anemia is slowly getting worse. I'm on Orgovyx and Zytiga which brought my PSA to 0.78 from 12. Where do I go from here. In June I'll be 87. Terry
