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?

Should I Add Docetaxel to Lupron and Zytiga?
Perhaps, the reasoning is that if doublet therapy is effective at keeping one's
PSA
below .05, then the docetaxel wouldn't be effective. On the other hand, if Docetaxel can shrink bone mets, wouldn't it be helpful even though
PSA
is below .05?

Short-term tactics to keep PSA in check
My anxiety (and it's running rampant currently) stems from the
PSA
scores. Currently, I'm at my zenith: 121. I still have no symptoms, but I worry about the spread of mets and the rising
PSA
. I feel like I'm in a race against time.

Drug Holidays?
PSA
was 466 in February when I started triplet therapy. Have had a great response with
PSA
now at <.10. Tried docetaxel chemo two weeks ago and lasted 7cc/2mins. Horrible reaction that docs say was not allergic given my vitals and they don't know what it was. I guess <5% have a similar reaction.

PSA level vs vasectomy question
Doesn't that fluid if any increase blood
PSA
also? or Free
PSA
floating around my system? Curious if anyone has knowledge of that, or if I am completely wrong on anatomy.

psa risen 3 points since diagnosis. Does it mean cancer spread?
His
psa
from April which was 11.4 today was 14.3. I’m hoping this doesn’t mean the cancer is spreading. Could there by other reasons for the jump of 3 points in 2 months. TIA.

When is PARP introduced?
He is responding well so far as
PSA
is declining ( see profile for
PSA
) . I have seen some men are talking a PARP inhibitor and nubeqa and zoladex ( or ADT equivalent med's). Have been told by some we stay the course we are on till Castrate resistant than due to BRCA2 we would than try the PARP.

primary tumor
Last
PSA
was .1. The nodules and lymph nodes are gone and I was turned down for radiation to the prostate. My diet is beyond clean, never thought I could do it, but I eat most raw vegatables, berries, nuts and beans. Fish if it's fresh. Nice to you all

Radiation at low PSA levels
I saw an article or a feed somewhere for starting radiation for recurrence after RP that salvage radiation at around 0.05 level provides a higher potential for cure vs. waiting until it rises to 0.20+. Has anyone seen this article or statistic? Tx

Mr Geoff Lloyd
PSA
refused to disappear and so RT followed.
PSA
still present and PC nodules found in my lung in 2021. I then had a 6 session course of chemotherapy and have been on Abiaterone and Demoxosone drugs ever since.Nodules and
PSA
stable but plagued by lack of energy and stamina and neuropathy.

Darolutamide 1200mg/day?
My
PSA
was 6.4 & was reduced to 2.4 in 5 weeks. So that is good, but my question is, has anyone here been on that amount of Darolutamide a day? & What is it doing to the heart? not to mention liver & kidneys. My suspicions were raised because now they subject me to blood pressure tests.

PSA Bounce
I was wondering if I may please get your input on my latest
PSA
which bounced from 1.2 to 1.6. Why did this happen and is this something I should be concerned about? Thanks so much. Regards.
