combining standard PCA care with alternative care
Dec 15 my
PSA
is 27.5 and I will take one more ORGOVYX today hoping to reduce
PSA
to 10-15. At this
PSA
level I believe the alternative treatment will kill more cancer cells than my testosterone can replace.

PSA Score Doubling / Lab Error?
So, my prostate is not going to ever generate a lot of
PSA
on an absolute scale. However, a doubling of
PSA
at any level is concerning when cancer is already diagnosed in the patient.

Pluvicto Question
Also
PSA
went down just slightly after infusion number two but went up a little from
PSA
after number two and now after number three.
PSA
Jan 9 30.85 ng/mL Feb 9 27.48 ng/mL and now Feb 28 30.689 not a huge increase but shouldn't it be goining steadily down if Pluvicto is successful?

Maybe because of "careful" patient selection, but still great: PSA Undetectable in First Patient Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA
"The first patient with prostate cancer dosed with 2 cycles of 8GBq of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA has reached undetectable prostate specific antigen (
PSA
) levels using PET" https://www.targetedonc.com/view/

Testosterone was slowly recovering after stopping all meds 8/10/2023 then started dropping!
The plan was to use Xtandi mono therapy in order to maintain testosterone so hopefully hemoglobin would rise and
PSA
would decline.

Whats high PSA? ( when you havent been diagnosed with prostate cancer)
Several family member went and tested themselves with
PSA
tests. My husband was 39 years old and his
PSA
test came back 1,9 and this year at 40 years his
PSA
was 1,6, free
PSA
added 0,4 ( which was good). I read somewhere that
PSA
1,5 and higher is of concern.

Dutasteride Monotherapy is effective for Newly Diagnosed PCa men not on ADT
Dutasteride monotherapy (0.5 mg/day) causes an average drop in
PSA
of about 50% in both Groups, and an average drop of about 20% in prostate volume. In one man, his
PSA
dropped from 43 to 3 (a 93% drop)!

PSA rise from initial Pluvicto treatment
I am curious if most of you that have been through Pluvicto experienced a
PSA
rise initially? I just finished my first injection, and did see a bit of a jump in
PSA
level. I had a similar experience in the SPLASH trial last year. After the first Lu177 injection, my
PSA
shot up quite a lot.

Effectiveness of ADT
His
PSA
was 79.5 and Gleason 5+5. One month earlier doctors started hormone therapy (Lupron 22.5 mg along with Abiraterone and iron and calcium tablets ). After one month his
PSA
dropped to 7.9 but ALP rose to 2655. For ALP i read that it will flare upto 6 moths after start of ADT .

Sorry me again
I posted after last
PSA
and have the chemo # 5
PSA
now. It was 0.12 again ,same as chemo # 4. I know this is low but I'm just worried it is not low enough and will stay there. Is it normal to stop at Chemo 4 and 5 .

Does this mark the beginning of castration resistance?
My dad's
PSA
at diagnosis was 150. He is 64. Since May 2023, dad has been on monthly Degarelix (Firmagon) injections and on a regime of 160 mg of Enzalutamide daily (Xtandi). His
PSA
reached a nadir of 0.02 in March 2024.

Tripple therapy - ADT+Lynparza+Xtandi
My
PSA
was 0.74, but now it has increased to 2.3. All other tretments and history are in my bio. The last Pet-choline done in Feb. 2024, did not show any mets, probably because at that time my
PSA
was 0.6. I have scheduled new PSMA Pet scan fo 4/25/24.

Rising PSA 1 year after RALP
I've been getting ultra sensitive
PSA
tests every three months. These are the last three scores: 0.015 0.017 0.026 (First
PSA
test after surgery was <0.1) I am worried. Frightened, actually. Margins were not clear on my surgical biopsy, though gleason was only 3+3.

Radium 223 offered
What can we expect, as I have read that Radium 223, does not take
PSA
down.If this treatment 'kills the Cancer cells' then I don't understand why
PSA
dosn't fall ? Could be offered more chemo, after Radium. So is Radium 223 worth having ?

Saxon clinical trial
After Radiation treatments my
PSA
was undetectable until July 2019. It rose to 3.9 in January 2020. Pet scan found a spot on my pelvic bone. It was radiated in January 2020.
PSA
went down to 0.3 in July 2020. In November 2020 it rose to 0.6 and 0.8 in February 2021.

Radiation PSA, Orgovyx, Bone density Update
Rouge clone radiation on 10/31/23 has
PSA
from 4.83 on 11/20/23 to 0.85 on 12/18. HOWEVER,
PSA
up to 1.85 on 1/29/24. Disappointing to say the least I see MO next week and presume we start the Plarify scan to identify source and possibly more radiation to kill it.
