looking for recommendations for top radiation oncologist in Calif or Mayo for second opinions.
My husband had RP in June of 2022 and his
PSA
started creeping up since September of 2023. His last
PSA
was .08. He had a discussion with the radiation oncologist at UCSF and was told to do nothing until
PSA
is reaching .2.

PSA after Biopsy
I've heard that the biopsy procedure (14 cores) can elevate future
PSA
results. What is the recommended number of days or weeks to pass before scheduling a follow up
PSA
test? Thank you!

Getting Tired of This Sh*t
For some reason, they ran my
PSA
two times from the same blood draw. I had two different results: 21.51 and 30.0. Prior to my infusion at Stanford today, Stanford did a blood draw to compare their results with Quest.

Provenge (only) - impact on overall survival
Latest
PSA
was 0.918, but
PSA
is not good indicator for me, highest it got during cancer was 1.1 Any thoughts from Allen or the group? (My profile history needed updating so it's blank right now while I edit it down to make details easy to read.)

Now what? Second go-around of docetaxel not responding.
PSA
was driven down to 2.0 from 76 with 1st 6 rounds of docetaxel. Zytiga drove
PSA
down again to 3.0 from 14.
PSA
began rising early this year from 7.5 in January to 36 in June. Started Docetaxel in July but
PSA
has not budged.

PSA rise from initial Pluvicto treatment
I am curious if most of you that have been through Pluvicto experienced a
PSA
rise initially? I just finished my first injection, and did see a bit of a jump in
PSA
level. I had a similar experience in the SPLASH trial last year. After the first Lu177 injection, my
PSA
shot up quite a lot.

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
His
PSA
has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered. His haemoglobin levels are down to 68 (or is it 6.8 in the US?)

Should I be concernedPSA rising from 0.3 to 0.40
after being undetectable for ~ 5 years my
PSA
became detectable 0.10 in July. In October I was retested and my
PSA
was 0.30 . In early November I had a PSMA-Pet scan which was negative. Today I was retested with a result of 0.40. How soon should I followup with my MO?

PSA analysis 6 months after radiation
At 3 months post radiation
PSA
and Testosterone were not detectable. It is my understanding that the lingering effect of Lupron on reducing
PSA
could last up to at least double the time you were on Lupron.

Post-op PSA jump .06 to 1.1
Hey guys, I'm not a math person, but this seems to be way more than "doubling." More like 18x? Not finding any literature online that addresses this big of a jump. What the...? My urologist is currently in Europe. Wondering if any of you have experienced that big of a jump and survived. (If you did

Declining psa #8
It’s rather encouraging to see the
psa
drop a whole 1 point in less than a year and all this w no adt n horrific side effects. My belief is to catch it early n hit hard w IVM n cbd as once
psa
gets below 2 it’s much easier to treat.

Update for kestrel5
Recent scans and bloodwork: no evidence of cancer, three years of undetectable
PSA
. Never say 'cured,' but I am enjoying a period of durable treatment effects.

Whats high PSA? ( when you havent been diagnosed with prostate cancer)
Several family member went and tested themselves with
PSA
tests. My husband was 39 years old and his
PSA
test came back 1,9 and this year at 40 years his
PSA
was 1,6, free
PSA
added 0,4 ( which was good). I read somewhere that
PSA
1,5 and higher is of concern.

Does this sound right? Any advice appreciated.
Took
PSA
in February, score jumped to 25. 4k test done, results are 30% which puts him in the high risk category for aggressive cancer. Took
PSA
again and it went up to 30 so doctor ordered another biopsy. Biopsy came back clear (standard biopsy, 12 punches).
