Should your psa be zero on lupron and Zytiga or is .22 for a few months in row ok - my psa after lupron the first time went to less than .01

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).

My dad started Zytiga and back on lupron in august and his PSA has been going down but is it going fast enough- he gets it every month and it went from 2.33 sept 1.39, oct, .50 nov, .32 dec, .24 Jan and now .22 for Feb Is that ok or should it have gone down this month more

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.

63 y/o in Colorado 2010: PSA check: elevated (around 7) 2011: PSA check: 9 Biopsy: confirmed Pca: Gleason 5 + 3 July 2011: PSA 11 before RP prostatectomy: PSA 0.2 afterward Fall 2011: PSA began rising February 2012: 27 rounds radiation, PSA 0 July 2014: PSA .2 November 2014: PSA .4 Wait and watch,

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 good people I stopped taking Bicalutamide for 64 days and my psa test increased from <0.1 to 0.29 ,i did a contact to my Oncology Dr. weise in Germany ,he told me to proceed with the psa testing on an regular basis. Nice weekend George

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

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

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?

Psa October 20 0.07. Psa February 2021 0.24. That’s increase x 3. Next psa test March 25. Any insight to offer? I’m doing well except for side effects of lupron. Oh. Also getting xgeva injections monthly.

Gleason 7 PSA peak 3.86. Prostatectomy April 2019. Confirmed all diagnostics. T2N0M0. Two actual lessons. 4+3/3+4. 1st lesion did contain cribriform cells. PSA nadir post op 0.04. Never undetectable. By October 2019 PSA up to 0.13.

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.

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?

Its been failing since july 2020 with psa rising slowly. Psa was at 8.1 at Christmas and earlier this month onc decided to start jevanta in march. Scans were ordered and today scans showed no progress and psa had dropped to 3.1. Now the onc has decided to postpone chemo for now.

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!

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?

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.

Morning guys...Psa up from 4.2 to 7.3 in 3months. Taking Zytiga and prednisone..Acumen scan next Wednesday..prostate already removed..Anyone have any information to share.Stay strong 💪 brothers...
