Patches (I'm depending on you, son)
While my research has continued, my oncologist has nothing to give me within the SOC to keep the
PSA
in check. Now I've witnessed another unwelcome visitor: facial hair (it only took me 70 yrs to start shaving....) Joking aside however, that means the T is on the rise.

My husband has a

PSA

Fenbendazole
My uncle, a very fit 88-year old, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago and while the hormonal treatment kept it in check for a couple of years, his
PSA
has now risen to 1600 and the scans show has spread to his bones.

Signatera tumor dna test
Has anyone heard of using the Signatera test from Natera to detect the presence of prostate cancer recurrence when
PSA
is rising but the PSMA PET scan is negative?

When To End An ADT Holiday
The difference between this approach and going back on ADT before
PSA
reaches 0.5 is that the data is telling them that the next ADT holiday will last longer.

Clarity Update: Complete response in first patient ever treated with 2 doses of Cu-67 SAR-bisPSMA at 8GBq
The patient remains with undetectable levels of Prostate Specific Antigen (
PSA
) for almost 6 months, following the administration of the second dose of 67Cu-SAR-bisPSMA.
PSA
is a marker used to assess clinical response to treatment and an indicator of the recurrence of prostate cancer.

Unexpected Dive in PSA
PSA
was initially 19.76 in April, went up to 21.78 in May to confirm first high
PSA
, retested again in August at 19.39. Started taking Orgovyx on 9/11 and began IMRT (37 fractions, 70-78gy to prostate, SIB boost to 85-90gy) on 9/28. Had my
PSA
checked again on 10/10 and it is now 2.07 (!).

What is the next step
My
PSA
has been fluctuating and is now 0.65, doubling time is 16 months, I have not had ADT yet and my MO wants to just wait and watch. What do you think?

Switch from Lupron/abi to Orgovyx/abi?
Lupron/abi dropped my
PSA
and TT very quickly so that is not an advantage, but the side effects are considered to be less - though my side effects seem more from abi than Lupron. Perhaps Libido is better with Orgo as it is about gone.

BONE DENSITY TEST IS BAD
Had
PSA
of 125 last April, and oncologist put me on Relogolix and Darolutemide. That along with going to plant based diet and adding weights and HITT exercise 3-4x per week, has brought me down to < .006. that’s the good news .

Experiencing possible neuropathy in my trunk
PSA
has plummeted and doing good. Prepping for chemo in May. This past Wednesday I started feeling some discomfort in my front and back. It's hard to explain. It feels a little like muscle soreness but my skin feels very tingly and my clothes touching my skin make me feel chilled/shivers.

ALT and AST levels
Just had labs done, and
psa
is at 0.1. The concern that I have is that my ALT and AST levels were elevated from what they were before I began ADT. After checking online, it appears that a "mild elevation" is considered to be 2-3 times higher than normal. Mine aren't that high...yet.
