PSA

Just had another
PSA
test along with Lipids. Everything A-OK.
PSA
still undetectable, although I found out that i did not have Medicare B and was charged 39, 000 for 6 month lupron injection. They put the hurt on me.

Rising Psa while on Lupron and Casodex
PSA
has been undetectable <.01 for 2 years. In January of 2021,
psa
was .1. My last
psa
in April 2021 was .2. Can anyone tell me what is causing this rise and
psa
and should I be overly concerned. What would be next steps if
psa
continues to rise

Hi everyone I was just wondering if anyone knows what food to remove from your diet as I have heard from some people that it has a lot to do with causing flares with your condition and some say certain foods removed can help you

LHRH
Check
PSA
in monthly steps. I would recommend the combination of Bicalutamid and LHRH when you reach
PSA
1.0 Usually recommend Profact 3 Month Depot (9,45 mg Buserelin).if i reach my
psa
1.0. George

For those doing BAT
How long after starting BAT would you see a true
PSA
result? BAT will artificially flare
PSA
to a degree before either dropping the
PSA
or the
PSA
continues to rise. Does anybody have any info on this? One month? two month? is there any data anybody knows of?

Rise in PSA
My dad had a
PSA
test 3 months ago where it showed a
PSA
of 0.07. His
PSA
has been hurdling around 0.07 for a couple of months. My dad had his regular
PSA
check up today after 3 months and it spiked up to 0.11. He is on zytiga (he has been on zytiga since 2019) and getting hormonal therapy shots.

PSA barely went down after surgery
Pre op
psa
was 8.4 and 7 weeks post op
psa
was 6.2. He had PET Axumin scan done last week nothing came up on it. His Dr seems shocked his
psa
is still so high and doesn't know why this would be. Has anyone experienced this?

PSA Rise
His nurse has responded to me this morning saying that the oncologist doesn't want to test his
PSA
until after his next consultation with her on 20/04/21. The question I have is if you see a rise in
PSA
, how often should this be checked thereafter to check for trends etc? Thanks in advance!

PSA climbed.
Hi All, DX 2015 I have been on Lupron since 12/20 I went for next injection and
psa
doubled.4 to 1.10. I also took bicalutamide for a week before starting Lupron. Wondering if after 6 years if my cancer is becoming CR?

What is considered Castrate resistant?
My husband's
psa
began rising again after about a year of being undetectable. Originally his
psa
was 1400's, did 6 rounds docetaxel, lupron for about a yr. Which brought his
psa
down .02. Recently they added Xtandi because his
psa
was rising every month up to almost 4.
