PSA from secondary deposits!
I had a radical
prostatectomy
in 2012 and my PSA levels until about a year ago were undetectable. I was then on annual PSA blood tests, but now they have put them up to 3 monthly as the PSA has risen, although still very low at around 0.2 .

PSA after the radical prostatectomy
I have posted at "the Inspired" looking for answers to my puzzles. Some have responded with helpful insight. I am sill wondering why my PSA does not drop to near zero after radical prostatocmy. My original PSA was 28 and MRI found something suspicious. The surgeon I saw booked a date for removal operation

Need help/input on Adjuvant vs salvage radiation after prostatectomy & extended lymph node dissection. Also studies/input on # fractions?
History: Husbands care team planned for a “multi-modality” treatment plan (ADT+Zytiga, then
prostatectomy
with ePLND, followed by adjuvant IMRT), for his Gleason 10, locally advanced PC.

Additional therapy(ies) right after radical prostatectomy based on pathological findings?
Is there any recommendation for doing additional therapy(ies), radiation, hormone therapy and/or ADT right after surgery in order to reduce the risk of Biochemical recurrence? Can pathological findings, below, recommend additional treatment? stage, tumor size/diameter, multifocality, extraprostatic

Intro
Had a Radical
Prostatectomy
with clear margins, and for a year have had PSA tests less than the 0.1 level. Most recent test jumped from 0.047 to 0.075 concerning me that the surgery was not fully successful.

Experience with different Viagra / Cialis Regimens For Moderate ED?
1.5+ years post bi-lateral nerve sparing
prostatectomy
(well not 100% nerve sparing) my EF is probably and 8.5 where it was a 10 prior to surgery. If I'm really in the mood with a ton of physical (and visual) stimulation I can barely get to the point of penetration without drugs.

Low PSA producing PCa. MO discontinued Abi +Pred. Is this right?
Highest PSA at diagnosis and
prostatectomy
was 2.67. Started on Lupron right away. Abi and pred started when PSA went to .26 a year after surgery. We’re in Florida for a few months and went to Moffit for a second opinion. Doctor took him off abi and pred right away (he’d been on for 2 months).

Concerns about treatment
I had a
prostatectomy
in 4/2009. In 3/2018 realized my PSA was .3. Underwent salvation radiation with no change. PSA tested every 3 months and has been climbing, except when I tried KETO diet. Attempts to locate using PET scans with Auxim have failed.

Nighttime incontinence
I had radical
prostatectomy
about 16 months ago. Radiation followed about 6 months after that. I am on Lupron and abiraterone now for about 9 months. Among other side effects, I have occasional bed wetting.

Side Effects of Lupron plus Abiraterone
I'm 56 and 15 mos post radical
prostatectomy
. I'm on Lupron and Abiraterone plus prednisone. Aside from the 'normal' side effects of low/no libido, reduced testicle size, etc., I am losing much of my body hair. I'm referring to arm, leg, chest and armpits.

Artificial Urinary Sphincter? Finding a surgeon and understanding recovery?
I am at the point where, after my
prostatectomy
, salvage radiation and sling implant, my incontinence has gotten bad enough that I feel I need an Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) I had the sling installed in January 2021. It worked for about a year and a half.

Robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy - PSA confirms microscopy after surgery
PSA, 7 weeks after surgery, was 0.01 ug/L. Recall microscopy after surgery reported the tumour was no longer prostate confined with capsular penetration and extension into periprostatic fat. Tumour extended very close to the posterior surgical margin but in none of the sections did it reach this margin

PSA post salvage radiation
He had clean margins and reached undetectable PSA after
Prostatectomy
. Near the end of 5th year after surgery his PSA became detectable. I’m confused, If clean margins how would cancer be outside the prostate? He did salvage radiation at .09 PSA.

Advice on bloodwork after radiation treatment?
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer (a very low PSA) back in 2016, underwent a radical
prostatectomy
that year, and then radiation a year or two later to his pelvic area after a rise in PSA.

Long term side effects from salvage radiation after radical prostatectomy
Hi folks, I'm considering salvage radiation (~34 treatments) after a
prostatectomy
where the PSA didn't drop below .2. I'd like to get a feel for how common the long term side effects of Salvage radiation (to bladder, bowel, hemorrhoids, etc.) are, by hearing your experiences.
