PSA, total
I had a RP June 2023 I just got the results from my forth PSA test the first three were a post
prostatectomy
PSA test and all three were 0.02 this last one was a PSA, total. That’s what the Urologist wanted and it came back 0.10.

Ct scan of abdomen and pelvis and full body bone scan?
Prostatectomy
was done 9/2015 Gleason 7 (3+4) Stage T2c, N0, MX. My question is this necessary since my PSA has been undetectable since the radiation treatment? Urologist says this is standard of care.... Thank you for any input. I appreciate it. John

Satisfaction with AUS after Radiation
I have had both a
prostatectomy
and salvage radiation (see profile). I regained continence after the
prostatectomy
. But about 6 months after the salvage radiation I started leaking due to stress incontinence and it has gotten progressively worse.

Out of town prostatectomy
For those that have had a
prostatectomy
out of state, who did most of the follow-up? Did you have a local urologist too? I suspect a local urologist would be hesitant to follow up on a patient whom had his surgery done by someone else.

Chronic pain after prostatectomy
My friend had robotic
prostatectomy
in May 2019. In the almost 5 years since he has experienced daily abdominal pain. He has seen numerous doctors but none of them have been able to diagnose the source of the pain. He is an invalid due to this problem. Does anyone else know of a similar case?

Month 5 of ORGOVYX
After radical
prostatectomy
and radiation treatment, I’m now on ORGOVYX and my testosterone has decreased from 672 to 11. I’ll be coming off the medication in one month. If anyone has used ORGOVYX, do you stop cold turkey or is there a tapering off of the drug? Thank you.

Recent diagnosis questions & concerns, please respond to any that you can
The concern is that once extracapsular extension occurs, does the value of
prostatectomy
diminish? Also, once extracapsular extension occurs, is metastasis inevitable?

Suddenly Urinary Leakage just walking around, then I have to push / strain to urinate, PSA rising, prostatectomy leakage resolved
I had a Radical
Prostatectomy
in 03/2023 leakage resolved. I didn’t have radiation as much as I was waiting to do so on prostate bed tumor growing, medical oncologist kept wanting me to wait.

10-year update still shows no benefit to ART vs early SRT
ART
= adjuvant radiation therapy, within 6 months after radical
prostatectomy
(RP)
early SRT
= salvage radiation therapy, after PSA ≥ 0.1ng/ml or 3 consecutive rises. Median was 0.2 ng/ml. Median 1 ½ years after RP.

Next step options after lupron/zytiga failed
I have been on monthly Lupron for 7 years (starting in 2014) after the spread of prostate cancer to my bones following a
prostatectomy
in 2014. Lupron alone was very effective until December 2021. I then added Zytiga/Prednisone which had worked well.
