PSMA PET SCAN AND PSA
Current
PSA
is <0.01. Since my
PSA
at detection in 2019 was only 4. 5 and the PET scan showed all mets, he is recommending a fresh PSMA PET Scan to rule out mets to bones as he feels in my case
PSA
is not an equivalent indicator of spread when compared with usual detections with a much higher
PSA
.

PSA Rising and Falling during Chemo
Since starting the Cabazitaxil my
PSA
has been raising and lowering. I am currently having some scans done to confirm if there is progression. What is going on? What causes the
PSA
to react like this. My numbers are high, last 3 are 28, 69 and 48 now.

What happens next
My 68 year old husband was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer to the bones Oct 22 with
PSA
at 220. Since then he has been on Zoladex, Enzalutamide and has just finished 8 rounds of Docetaxel. Apart from this cancer he is very healthy - but what happens now when the
PSA
starts rising again.

First MO visit
PSMA test in November 2023 was negative with
PSA
of 0.14 at that time. My
PSA
has now increased to 0.34. I have my first visit with an MO in a couple weeks. Any suggestions or hints as to what to expect for treatments following this visit?

PSA level from 4 (Dec 2023) to 22 (present)
His
PSA
level is now at 22 but the specialist cannot figure out what is going on. He is scheduled for an MPI (myocardial perfusion imaging) that is estimated for September. Is his raising level of
PSA
not concerning?

Confused
His
PSA
went up to 1600. Doctor said other blood work was to be expected. I researched surged in
PSA
and found this, The
PSA
flare is a well-known phenomenon. The post chemotherapy increase in serum
PSA
could reach more than twice the baseline value.

Symptoms of PsA
Hello I wondered if anyone could share with me the symptoms of
PsA
? Although I have been told that I've probably had this for a while, the only sign, for years, was two slightly swollen toes which at times were a little sore.

PSA 8 months after EBRT
Highest pretreatment
PSA
was 4.4. I go to the PCP for a few other issues and he runs a
PSA
each time he does a blood work. My
PSA
/Testosterone end of Oct 2023 was 2.80/238; Dec 2023 it was 1.76/275; and this week, June 4th 2024 it was 1.74/268, basically no change in 5 months.

Casadex, on and off
During the last part of going on 3 years my
psa
started rising. They took me off Casadex and put me on Orgovyx which did not work so they put me on injections of lupron once a month. My
psa
again started rising on lupron injections. Now They have put me on nubeqa to lower
psa
. Start that tomorrow.

PSA vs Testosterone plot has large scatter, but still confirms Morgentaler's Saturation Model.
than T= 250 ng/dL will not increase the
PSA
level any further.
