PSA trippled since last Lupron infusion
My
PSA
was 0.05 between February 2023 and June 2023, then in September it ticked higher to 0.06 and at yesterday's Lupron injection it was 0.17. Should I be concerned? Anybody with similar experience: what did you do? Am I CR or still CS? Should I ask for Lu-177/Pluvicto ASAP? Thanks for reading.

PSA Follow up
PSA
is still 0.00. Obviously I’m thrilled. He said that since I’m 3 years out from RT and 4 years from RP, he’s comfortable with seeing me annually because my
PSA
has been stable at 0.00 for three years.

PSA
and scheduled a Biopsy. The repeats
PSA
showed an increase from July 26th to August 22nd level of 25.66.

infusion Side Effects
My
PSA
continues to move up so my oncologist ordered 20 sessions of radiation. The radiation was a walk in the park compared to the 1030-1048 Zometa infused Wednesday morning. Holy cow ! Peed (a few dribbles) every half hour. Chills then sweats.

PSMA scans and radiation of oligometastases
PSA
undetectable until 2019, now slowly rising at 0.40, doubling time 11 months. My questions/concerns about the scan/radiation approach: If I am going to go this route, what’s a good
PSA
level and/or doubling time to start? Does it confer a benefit to overall survival?

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.

ADT duration for high risk with Cribriform
Low
PSA
, never above 7.0. I did SBRT in July 2023.
PSA
was .05 three months post SBRT (October) and .01 as of March 2024. The study above would seem to suggest that I can bail on ADT after 12 months. I'll ask him about the study, but I may look for other opinions.

Avodart added to my treatment regimen. I am Leary of it.
My
PSA
went up to 21 after the SBRT. The bicalutamide I understand. I am leary of the avodart. I am concerned that it will mask
PSA
rise from cancer. Any thoughts on this?

Zytiga - Lupron
I was on Zytiga ( now Abi) with lup for several years and it kept my

PSA
remains undetectable after 6 years.
