How does one distinguish between supplements that reduce PSA as opposed to masking PSA?

Lower PSA levels are only desirable if the lower PSA levels are caused by lower cancerous activity. https://pcnrv.blogspot.com/2019/04/if-you-are-using-psa-to-monitor-your.html If you are using PSA to monitor your cancer, you may want to avoid curcumin (and some other supplements)Lower PSA levels are only desirable if the lower PSA levels are caused by lower cancerous activity. https://pcnrv.blogspot.com/2019/04/if-you-are-using-psa-to-monitor-your.html If you are using PSA to monitor your cancer, you may want to avoid curcumin (and some other supplements)

HIGH PSA NUMBERS

My PSA has always been in the 2.0 - 4.0 (estimate range) for years. When I found out I had prostate cancer,my PSA was 8.4. I’ve noticed several on this site reporting that their PSA’s being in the 100’s. Are these different tests or can a PSA go to that range?My PSA has always been in the 2.0 - 4.0 (estimate range) for years. When I found out I had prostate cancer,my PSA was 8.4.

Rising PSA after 7 Years

Can't figure out why PSA would rise after 7 years of remaining at a steady level and thinking that PC behind me. Could rising PSA be the result of laboratory differences or should I actually be concerned about slight increase in PSA?Can't figure out why PSA would rise after 7 years of remaining at a steady level and thinking that PC behind me.

PSA measures and Chemo

PSA went from 24 to 109 in five months. I have begun Docetaxel infusion completing the first cycle. Are PSA measures meaningful during chemo? My Doctor runs PSA, but places more emphasis on bone scans. I am continuing with Xtandi and Lupron during the chemo.PSA went from 24 to 109 in five months.

PSA vs PSMA

It along with the Lupron has my PSA at 0.2 or 0.3. I am wondering if I get another PSMA PET scan now will it show anything with my PSA so low? Is there a direct relationship between PSA level and PSMA expression?It along with the Lupron has my PSA at 0.2 or 0.3.

Zytiga and PSA drop

He suggested being that I was getting a blood draw prior to my Zometa infusion, get a psa and a testosterone test. My T was <0.07 ng/mL. My PSA was .3. When I began Zytiga 5 months ago my PSA was 6. It seems to me that my PSA should be lower. Or am I just being paranoid?He suggested being that I was getting a blood draw prior to my Zometa infusion, get a psa and a testosterone test.
