PSA holding low!!
Hi all, I just want to give notice to everyone :-) that the PSA is still at a low level after almost 3 years of ADT. So it was 0.03 in July last year. In January it fell to 0.01 and now it went up meaningless, I hope, to 0.02. Good health to everyone!

PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a revised plot of PSA reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the PSA and testosterone both flatten out versus time. I've also added the reference

psa rising
After a second rise in psa from .04 to .21 in three months we decided to meet with a medical oncologist to discuss next steps. I am inclined to get a scan to locate pc but it may be too low. I have had surgery followed by salvage radiation followed by a scan and pelvic radiation so I may have exhausted

AS or sext step(s) suggestions.
Solitary enhancing nodule left prostate bed. Neg PSMA PET x 3 over two year period. Visible on 3 MRIs. Size seems stable but slowly rising PSA. Current PSA 0.35. Considering Bx before RT decision vs continuing AS. If Bx may do another Decipher. Initial decipher 0.69 high risk. Robotic prostatectomy

Starting treatments
Had a setback due to being hospitalized in the ICU for a month and a half. Went to the Oncologist last week and about to start some aggressive treatment as I have a very aggressive prostate cancer. The oncologist on duty at the hospital had an MRI done to show where the metastasized bone cancer is located

PSA drop with decreasing Testosterone after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a plot that I made from data taken from the PATCH estrogen patch therapy study. It plots the % reduction in PSA from baseline (100%) at time = 0 as a function of testosterone levels over a period of 4 weeks. As you know, estrogen effectively castrates men, causing a drop in testosterone over

PSA 0,100
my Hubby had recently another PSA done to provide the Heidelberg Clinic info for the Proton Program. I just don’t understand those numbers, they keep changing, 3 months ago, it was from 0,05 to 0,07, now it shows 0,100. Are there different tests? I cannot find anything in the internet, I don’t know

PSA spiked from .6 to 8.0 in 3 months
The blood test corroborates the MRI that shows spread. I am talking with Dr Goodman in the AM. Am I doomed? My PSA has never been 8. before

I started a Zytiga holiday yesterday. Still on Lupron for now. How long should I keep taking prednisone? I know Zytiga clears out pretty fast.
