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

ADT failure
Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's
PSA
moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto.

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)!

Phase 1b: FOR46, a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting a tumor-specific epitope of CD46, in combination with Enza in patients with mCRPC
"Preliminary anti-tumor activity was observed with
PSA
declines in 13/16 (81.3%) of evaluable pts, and a disease control rate (stable disease ≥ 6 months) of 41.2%" But side effects could be very hard on heavily pretreated patients https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.2024.42.16_suppl.5066

Expectations
Will my
PSA
automatically rise when the Eligard wears off? If and/or when it does, does that indicate a recurrence of the cancer somewhere? And if so, does that mean immediate ADT, a radiation refresher or a new work-up with pet/ct scans, etc.?

My MO suspects that I am non-metastatic, castration resistant but will not approve any treatment until metastases develop.
Stayed that way for two years then my T started to gradually increase to around 32 and my
PSA
stated going up.
PSA
went to 2.5 and my Johns Hopkins doctor said "I needed treatment." Had another Eligard injection and
PSA
dropped back to undetectable.

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.

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.

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?

Dumb Question about rising PSA after initial RT.
If you still have a prostate after RT treatment 7 years ago ( NO ADT), could a slowly rising
PSA
just be 'natural' as you age?

Enlarged Lymph Nodes on MRI and CT
Gleason 7 (4+3)
PSA
6. Bone scan clear but lymphadenopathy in groin nodes (inguinal; iliac nodes). Does this mean spread? Being sent for a PET Scan Friday.
