Experiences with

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)

Participated in clinical trail with apalutamide 30 months ago psa was undetectable in February 2022 March 2022 had pain in that bone psa was .07 I had a bone scan as well as ct scan April 2022 psa climbed to .11 Next appointment in August for psa .

I usually do PSA test every month it cost my 45USD,they send it the result to their website within 24 hours. Best Regards

Conclusions: Among patients with high-grade disease, patients with PSA levels ≤ 2.5 ng/mL or PSA levels of 2.6 to 4 ng/mL appear to have a higher risk for cancer-specific death in comparison with patients with PSA levels of 10.1 to 20 ng/mL, and this supports the notion that low PSA levels in GS 8-10

Received my first PSA after RP today. Pre PSA was 7.1 but after my surgery my PSA 23. Has anyone had any experience with this. This is really confusing to me.

August 2019 PSA 14.393... Dec 2019 PSA 1.100 ... Aug 2021 PSA 0.126 ... Dec 2021 PSA 0.156 and this years PSA Feb 24th 0.300 .. So Dec '2021 till Feb 2022 my PSA doubled. I am not on Lupron and only one Abiraterone tab daily due to cardiac toxicity and arrhythmia issues.

After a few months experimenting with Nubeqa as a monotherapy, and seeing PSA climb to around 4.0, I added Orgovyx to the mix. Initially PSA dropped to 1.07, but after several months of daily orgovyx and Nubeqa, PSA seems "stuck" in the 1.0 range.

After 2 years of undetectable psa, my recent psa test were the following: My last 3 mo eligard shot was July 2021.

In my case First break 2/26/20 to 8/28/20 6 month point T=114, PSA: 0.14 9 month point T = 147, PSA: 0.45 Second break 6/2/21 - 6 month point T=28, PSA: 0.19 9 month point T = 72, PSA: 0.51 Recently, my hot flashes have become more severe nearly 1 year into the break.

My latest PSA is 21.2, free PSA 4.8%, Velocity is high... 4 months ago PSA was 14.4. MRI showing a possible PI-RAD 3. I have no other symptoms.

His psa is down to 0.07 so we were happy he have another pmsa scan which showed resolve in all lymph nodes barring one and all lesions barring 2 but they have shrunk to nothing so all good but today we went for his psa check up and it has risen to 0.09 should we be worried ?

So, assuming that all 48cc is functional, my PSA density would be .08.

. - Living in Canada, diagnosed in 2018 with 4+4 and PSA 40. - On Zoladex since 2018 and still on - 35 sessions of radiation in 2018 and PSA dropped to <1. - PSA started rising (got to 40) in Summer 2020 and started on Zytiga -Scans showed 30+ mets to spine, ribs, pelvis but no soft tissue or lymph nodes

His PSA consistently went up the entire time he was on chemo. Why would his PSA drop now? Is this common? It just doesn’t make sense to me.

His PSA was 100.4 when he started treatment. He had a TURP and found the cancer. My question is can he start having side effects after being on ADT for 2 years. His PSA started to rise in 4/20/21. He had a PSA of .44 and last visit was 3.35 which was 03/28/2022.

Conclusions: Patients with a PSA <4.0 ng/ml had poorer the prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS) than patients with a PSA 4.0-10.0 ng/ml. Similar PCSS was found in patients whose PSA levels were 10.1-20.0 ng/ml in patients with GS 9-10 prostate cancer. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32109649/

Hi Everyone, It’s been awhile and DC has been doing great and his PSA has been coming down nicely. He’s on Lupron-3, Zytiga & Prednisone. He got his blood results back yesterday and his PSA blipped a bit by 0.5 ; from 5.6 to 6.1. Is that a normal occurrence this early in his journey?

I’m 45yo recently has a psa test of 9.8 two weeks ago kinda freaked out. Seeing a urologist on Wednesday 4/13 I’m sure will want to retest should I lay off eating red meat or any meat in general?
