Trying not to freak out!
When I started the journey, my
PSA
was 13.72, I had my first follow up
PSA
test in April and it came down to 6.97, I was thrilled as that is about a 50% drop.

Lupron + abi/pred 9 months and PSA<.04 throughout - - consider dropping abi and monitor it?
I am a recurrence case and
PSA
went to 2.2 last year; multiple possible sites. After 9 months in now,
PSA
<.04 and TT <10 the whole time.

Prostate Cancer PSA is detectible again
In early 2023, my
PSA
went up to 0.12. I underwent a PET scan, which returned negative. However, an MRI revealed a small area at the prostatectomy suture site. On October 27, 2023, I completed 40 treatments of savage radiation. On February 7, 2024, my
PSA
was 0.014.

10th year
PSA
was .1 for a while. It crept up over .2, and I began taking lupron. The drug brought
PSA
back down to >.01 for a year or so. As the level started going up again, I received whole pelvis bed radiation, moving
PSA
to undetectable. After a year or so,
PSA
started climbing.

PSA test
my husband had a
PSA
done and it raised from 0,5 to 0,7. He finished proton radiation las year January, the
PSA
went down to 0,5. is this normal, or should he take any action? He will be 81 years old this coming September, would it be okay to let it go. Has anybody have this experience?

PSA rising after salvage RT. What next?
My
PSA
is low but on the rise. <.006 in January and .042 now. I'm not on ADT. See bio for history. I hate to stand on the sidelines and watch it rise. Is there something I can do, or do I have to wait until
PSA
rises then have a scan? What is SOC? Your comments are appreciated.

Is PSMA PET Scan worth it when PSA<0.2
My
PSA
is still less than 0.2. I had one PSMA in March 2022 when
PSA
was rising to 1.03. Scan show 3 preaortic lymph nodes and two spot on ribs. Then 6 weeks RT and ADT (Lupron, Erleada). My MO reasoning is if scan shows no progression, I can go intermittent.

PSA holding low!!
Hi all, I just want to give notice to everyone :-) that the
PSA
is still at a low level after almost 3 years of ADT. So it was 0.03 in July last year. In January it fell to 0.01 and now it went up meaningless, I hope, to 0.02. Good health to everyone!
