rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
ADT dropped the
PSA
quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they are starting to grow back.

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22,
PSA
went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this?

Most Recent MRI
I have had 2 biopsies and 5 MRI's and countless
PSA
tests. First bx showed 3 cores at 3+3 and 2 cores suspicious, confirmatory bx a year later showed 1 core at 3+3 and 1 core suspicious. My
PSA
has risen from 3.9 in 2018 to 12.7 and back to 11 this year.

Morgentaler Saturation Model: PSA vs Testosterone - Estrogen Patch vs Lupron ADT
The assumption that a
PSA
value is proportional to Prostate Growth rate may not be correct.

PSA rising, rapidly
My
PSA
started rising six months ago, at first slowly, but now very rapidly. It went from 0.04 to 0.05 then 0.17 (in three months between tests and Lupron injections) and a month and a half after that to 0.3. Still waiting for the oncologist decision about what to do next.

Eligard

went up to 2.25.1 from 1.1 (March). Doctor told me that he never had a patient Eligard does not work at all at the beginning. He asked me to go thru with PSMA scan and start to take Xtandi.

Mortality Probability after first PSA rise vs non-castrate testosterone levels (low vs Normal)
At 5 years after first
PSA
failure, the prostate specific mortality rate is about 7% for normal T, versus 58% for "Low" T. That's a huge difference, which only gets larger with longer time. The paper also reports that the
PSA
doubling time is 2.8 months for Low-T and 10.6 months for Normal-T.

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.

Docetaxal chemotherapy
When my
PSA
started to rise I took abiraterone and Lupron for 3 more years and was undetectable. It started to rise again to 1.78. Then I was put on Xtandi but after a week I developed a full body rash. When that cleared they gave me Nubeqa which gave me some unpleasant side effects.

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.

Dad's PSA now 1800..nothing works..Is this the end??
I pleaded with the Onc if we could 'think outside the box' , can we try something, anything. 2 cycles of Carboplatin brought his
PSA
down from 1500 to 1300; we were hopeful; yet after the 3rd cycle,
PSA
shot up.

Please forgive the lateness but here it is:Four years after prostectomy my
psa
began to rise. I had eight weeks of radiation to the prostate bed.
Psa
returned to nondetectable for eleven years. Two years ago my
psa
began to rise at an alarming rate it was doubling monthly if not more.

PMR or PsA or both
My Rheumatologist thinks it could be PMR or
PsA
or both. Can't get a definite answer. It started overnight after a fall I had. Now I wake up really achy all over and after about an hour feel fine for 75, ha, ha. I'm only on prednisone 10mg. Any opinions would be a appreciated. Thx
