Experiences with

Prostate disease

I have been on ADT vacation for 10 months now.(stage 4 with starting PSA 2250 in 2019). 2019 started on ADT and PSA has been undetectable 4 months after I started and is still. Testosterone less than 40(undetectable) and still is. My new MO wants to restart ADT (Depo Lupron and Zytiga) if my testosterone

Another trial of something that targets bone metastasis, and works even better if you are under zolendronate . "Most importantly, gamma delta T cells are unique in that they are most efficient when combined with a drug (zoledronate) that is commonly used to protect the bone in patients with bone metastatic

Background: I have to take my wife for all her appointments - doctors, hair, etc. Her MO who treats her blood cancer seemed like a good doctor but I know nothing about blood cancer. So I went to her with my records for a consult with the idea it would be easier and less hassle if we could get appointments

Two months ago, husband’s PSA was .23, last month .20, yesterday .27. MO wants to watch and see what it is next month. Husband diagnosed 9/23, finished 6 rounds chemo on 2/21, is on Zytiga and Orgovyx currently. Concerned about the rise in PSA, would like input. Thank you.

My psa has risen from <0.01 in Feb to 0.04 in April to 0.27 in July then 0.41 this week. I had a CT and full body scan on Tuesday, which according to my MO, who I saw today, showed no ‘hotspots’. Because my PCa metastasised to 4 places in 2016 when first diagnosed, I had radiation to the prostate followed

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 ?

Surgery, pelvic and prostate bed radiation. 2 years zytiga/lupron. PSA <0.04 for 2 years. Radiation oncologist agrees with 2 MO no scans till PSA rises. 2 MO say no more treatment unless PSA rises.What is best next treatment if needed? Nervous not being proactive.Both MOs agreed only 2 years lupron.

My PSA increased after 6 weeks to 0.04 but my T dropped to 8.87 not sure how to think of this. I had no expectation, so it is what it is. Plan is my MO will give me a PSMA scan if a I get to 2.0 PSA. These numbers are so small that I know that they are meaningless at this point but I would still

Had my prostrate removed, psa went up, had radiation, psa went up, went on eleguard, psa kept going up, tried erleada, did nothing, psa kept going up, now at 25, also found a tumor on bladder outside wall. Oncologist wid a blood test and it showed that keytruda might work. After 1 infusion, psa went

Hello fellow warriors, I know there have been posts of Pluvicto both helping and failing. I am now awaiting a PSMA PET scan to discuss possibly doing Pluvicto. I was diagnosed in 2018 at 46 years old with mets to about 5 spots in the bones. I have been on ADT since the beginning. I was on Zytiga then

Hello all. 18 months since diagnosed stage 4 metastatic PC. Mets almost everywhere. PSA was 512 at diagnosis. Apaludamide/Trelstar combo lowered PSA to 0.60. Began to climb again April this year and Xofigo was suggested. I've now completed 3 of 6 treatments. Told Xofigo isn't to reduce PSA by my MO

Started 3rd pBAT cycle on 6-4-24 with a PSA of 0.58 measured 1 day earlier, 32 days after last of 6 T injections. Started 4th cycle on 7-26-24 with a PSA of 0.59 measured 2 days earlier, 34 days after last of 9 T injections. Tomorrow I will start my first loT phase with darolutamide (see below question

I’ve just finish 19 months of Zoladex and RT to prostate only (localised G9 / PSMA/CT clear no evidence of SV involvement with PSA 6) My usual lab have been reporting my PSA as <0.01 ug/L since RT 18 months ago. My first 3 month testosterone is 0.8 nmol/L (23 ng/dL) and my PSA <0.03 ! Why is it

Hi everyone My father has been on Lupron for 3 years now. We stopped Abi last year due to rising blood sugar levels. His PSA used to hover between 0.6-0.8 (with an occasional spike to 1.2). PSA in May 24 was 0.6. Today, however, his PSA came back as 2.5. Plan is to restart Abi and monitor. But I wanted

My Gleason was 9. Incontinence has been an issue since the RP and even though it has improved still leaked around 30 ml a day. Delaying radiation that I was recommended by one institution but some Oncologists say to delay radiation for more recovery. Even though my PSA is 0.01 on the meds, i worry

Hi folks I have just had my regular blood tests. It was actually quite funny. My oncologist is not one for laughing but I interrupted him just as he was about to tell me my latest "score" and told him my prognosis after a 4 month gap was 0.38 - he laughed as he told me the bloodtest gave 0.39. Theres

I recently completed 23 radiation treatments of EBRT at Cedars Siani in LA for recurrent prostate Cancer. The cancer was in a lymph node near the prostate gland. My RO has informed me that we will check PSA in November to see if the treatments were successful. I mentioned doing a PSMA Pet Scan in addition

PROSTATE BED: No abnormal PSMA uptake to suggest locally recurrent disease.

How do we help men, on this site, to reduce their chances of getting NEPC? I did a PSMA PET scan today. My blood tests looked pretty normal with psa at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76

My Dad diagnosed September 11th 2023. PSA was highest at 3.71. He had 6 doses Doxetaxel that were completed in January of 2024. Currently taking Zytiga daily and lupron infections. PSA still 0.01. In June of this year the pain started really bothering him. Hard to walk. MRIs to both hips showed bone
