Any advice for a specialist in NYC to monitor my post-RP PSA?
So, still "undetectable" (ie <0.05), but I've been advised to get the
PSA
checked every 3 months. So, can anyone chime in to recommend a specialist to help me monitor my
PSA
? I assume a urologist is in order, unless my
PSA
does increase. Or maybe even just a GP?

Psa doubled in less than a month
After giving time for the
PSA
to settle I had a test which showed that it doubled in close to 3 months. In preparation for a CT and bone scan to see if there is progression I had blood work done today and figured I might as well have a
PSA
test as well.

Question, each month with rising PSA, when do I do a pet scan
I believe this is causing my
PSA
to rise. I prefer to radiate, as I finally have my colitis under control with no more bleeding, it’s been a long road with that issue since last July What number
PSA
do I wait to before getting a pet scan?

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
Due shortly for blood panel including
PSA
. However, I have never had a testosterone test, that I recall. Could the return of odor suggest the return of testosterone? I'm actually "very concerned" . . .

PSA Numbers and 3rd Round of Docetaxel
Before each session they do a blood runup...my
PSA
was .77 before session 2, and .68 before session 3. I was .56 before ANY chemo (but on lupron of course) So, my question is should my
PSA
be dropping right off the map or not?

Lymparza not working
Lymparza has done nothing for him and at 2 month check,
psa
doubled. Today at 4 month check
psa
doubled again. Needless to say we are so upset because the dr really believed he would do well. I am struggling to understand why Lymparza has done nothing. We are waiting to hear back on next steps.

Use hormone therapy or not with Proton therapy
Hi All, Question, doctor is suggesting hormone therapy along with proton therapy (28 treatments of radiation) my gleason score went from 3+3 to 4+3 last year and
psa
doubled from 10 to 20. I tried to get in to this study to determine the genetics of tumor but they said tumor sample was bad.

Sulforaphane to lower PSA?
Hi all, curious here if anyone onboard has had any positive
PSA
lowing results, (in the 40-60 mg doses), especially it is interesting in the Ultra-ranges, using ‘Sulforaphane’, a suppliment that uses the certain positive extracts of raw broccoli, there apparently are some good indicators of it being

PSA testing comparison question
So fast forward to this past week and I needed more blood work for
PSA
and T in preparation for my quarterly call with Dr Kishan in 2 days (Tuesday), so I went to my primary care doctors office for the blood work.

Helpful group
PSA
at diagnosis was 26 and first blood work after Lupron and Xtandi
PSA
was down to 3.6. Testosterone was down to 4. Second blood test due in two weeks. So far no bad side effects except for occasional hot flashes which are brief but it looks like things are trending in the right direction.

seeking feedback on my case
I posted several mos. ago after being diagnosed with distant only metastatic -- GL7, low
PSA
, thought to be contained and headed for surgery, but asked for a PSMA -- showed 8-10 lesions in ribs and scapula. Mostly low SUV. Diagnosis changed from treatable to terminal.

Which treatment option best for recurrent oligo?
I don´t know if his stance is affected by his cancer clinic making its big money on radiation. 2 ADT + Abiraterone Since I have undetectable

Should go into the OMAHA2a ODM-208 (MK-5684-004): phase 3 trial?
MO is suggesting that I should go into the ODM-208 (MK-5684): phase 3 trial if
PSA
rises above 1.0.
PSA
of 1.0 or above is a entry requirement for the trial, presumable to be sure that my current treatment has failed.

Question for my father
I had my prostate removed 2 years ago at MSK and have recovered well with a still undetectable
PSA
. I’m writing for advice on my 91 yo father. He was recently found to have bone metastases throughout his skeleton.
PSA
is in the 70s.

New diagnosis
Initial
PSA
test was a staggering 15.6. I'm average height, normal weight, 75 kg. A non smoker and generally fit and well with no other conditions, nor do I take any medication for anything else. This was just a random
PSA
blood test, instigated by me, no symptoms at all.
