Is this 1-month PSA “plateau” significant?

Prior to that, my PSA Ultrasensitive had been dropping for months: -4 Sept 2020 PSA = 3.210 -30 Oct. 2020 PSA = 1.610 -4 Nov 2020 Started Abiraterone 1000 mg daily in addition to Firmagon monthly. -19 Nov 2020 PSA = 1.89 (an increase).

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

PSA

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.
