Rising PSA
A gradual increase in
PSA
(1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion so that I am prepared.

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
My latest
PSA
came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your
PSA
is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports an undetectable number as <0.1?

PSA and Eligard and bicalutamide
My
PSA
keep rising. Today,
PSA
went up to 1.1 (Today-03/13/24) from 0.37 (January). Doctor told me to take another Eljgard injection next week. This is the 2nd time. Doctor asked me to stop taking bicalutamide and dutasteride, as they appear not to be effective any longer.

Is a false-positive biopsy possible?
As a result, for the last 13 years, I've had my
PSA
checked every six months. I typically run a very low
PSA
, historically .5 or .6. About 18 months ago I noticed that my
PSA
was rising, from .63, then .75, then .89, and then in September, it was .97.
