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?

Need Help
For the past 6 years my
PSA
has bounced around but mostly under 1.0. In June 2023,
PSA
was .86 but my Primary Physician noticed that it had elevated 3 times .29 to .35 to .86 in 3 years. She said we need to do the next
PSA
at 6 months rather than 1 year.

Gleason 9,
PSA
56, he is 54 years old. We are both in shock still and real scared. Did not expect to hear stage 4. Trying to get as much info as possible how to deal with this new reality. He was given bicalutamide for 30 days on June 20th and got his Lupron shot for 3 months.

The
PSA
went down a bit but not enough so we were sent to oncology where MO added Xtandi to the lupron.
PSA
went down and remained undetectable until 2023, although the Xtandi caused many SEs which at time meant ER visits.

strange drop in PSA
I've actually never heard of
PSA
being this low except when on ADT or I guess in much younger men. I can't get another test for 3 months. Any ideas out there?

PSA 6 months after RT
Ravi at ASCO 2023, regarding measuring the
PSA
at 6 months post radiation treatment, for all risk groups. He found that the 6-month post-RT
PSA
was highly prognostic of 5- and 10-year rates of metastasis free survival (MFS), Overall Survival (OS), and prostate cancer mortality (PCSM).

trelstar
I have been undetectable at <.006 and now my
psa
is rising to .014. Maybe trelstar is losing its touch. Anyway I am doing a psma tomorrow. Had a pet ct last week that didn’t light up so I know the psma probably won’t show anything but maybe it will a little?

Breathing problem.
Even though 6 months ago I was told I was stage 4 and Gleason 9 the use of Orgovyx and Zytiga have brought my
PSA
from 72 to 0.4, and my numerous cancer hot spots appear under control. My
PSA
continues to go down and I'm without pain.

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after
PSA
reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then.

Question
Everything was good until recently with an increase in
PSA
from non detectable to .167 and a subsequent PSMA scan showed no bone mets but 2 small areas of cancer, Gleason 10, at the base of my prostate. I was wondering what might be the next recommended treatments?

BILLY NEEDS HELP
my
psa
was 11.7 last week, the highest in my life. I have been off all drugs for two months now. I think I should start a combination of two drugs immediately and Not go backwards on Lupron again.

PSA going down, but ALP increasing
At 2 weeks, my
PSA
had dropped from 133 to 66! Bone pain is much less. All my liver numbers are fine, but alkaline phosphatase has gone from 199 when I started to 429 at two weeks and 519 at three weeks. Doc thinks may just be a surge, but this is a pretty big surge. Any thoughts?

Testosterone is increasing? Should I be worried?
Hello everyone, Since my father’s surgery in 2022, his
PSA
levels have been undetectable. He receives a Zoladex injection every three months. Until this month, the reference range for total testosterone was 1.93 - 7.40 ug/L, and his result was 0.126 ug/L.
