Anomaly PSA jump of more than 25%?
I am not happy with husband's doctor as I pushed to have PSMA-PET done after this jump (before this last
PSA
there was 6 years of stable
PSA
following RT w/o ADT), but both husband and doctor said, wait.

Enhancing my urinating experience?
This, coupled with rise in
PSA
, triggered my oncologist to order both MRI and PSMA scan. Would appear things are progressing and got referrals to radiation oncologist and urologist. Met first with urologist who strongly recommends scheduling a TUAP procedure.

ED no more
We stayed for 4 months and my
PSA
dropped to 0.14 and cleared up my mets. The following year my
PSA
started doubling again so I went back. This time I had one more round of Lute 177 that completely restored my spine and cleared up some remaining mets.

No indication for Docetaxel ?
PSA
undetectable last month. Zoladex plus Erleada for ever now, more details in my Bio. I´ve asked my MO about having Chemo now to be more agressive, but she discarded it, claiming that there is no studies proving that this "triplet" would be of any good at my stage.

Heidelberg update
The
PSA
went down from, 0,7 to 0,1. He still is in the program until next year and has to fill out a questionnaire every 3 month, has
PSA
tests and blood work done. It looks like the government pays for this, because he was enrolled in this study. So far so good

Post-prostatectomy cancer status + treatment
Scholz is saying, even if my
PSA
comes back undetectable, he suggests treatment (this is what adjuvant means). It doesn't matter what my first
PSA
reading is. 2. Dr.

My treatment decisions
I also had been checking my
PSA
for years because of this. I couldn’t reconcile having been checking all these years to catch it early only to wait on active surveillance. I then chose to have a genetic test (Decipher) done. It came back a .76 (high risk).

Surgery vs SBRT Cyberknife
PSA
3.7-4.2. Met with Surgeon first, "slow growing, non aggressive" he believes is contained by looking at margins and pathology. Met with Radiology Oncologist, "favorable intermediate risk, non aggressive" he believes it is contained.

Current advances of liquid biopsies in prostate cancer: Molecular biomarkers, Cell/Molecular Therapy Oncolytics, 09/21/23
From the paper: [i]Introduction[/i] [i]The prostate-specific antigen (
PSA
) test is one of the most widely used screening tests for men at risk for prostate cancer (PCa).1 Recently, several advisory groups recommended against using
PSA
tests because of unsubstantiated outcomes.

Sharing My Good News
Following a PSMA my MO thought the largest tumor in my left acetabulum was the culprit so after several rises in my
PSA
over a year long periods, only that tumor was radiated. That returned my
PSA
to undetectable where it remained for about a year.

Looking for advice for my newly diagnosed dad
He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his
PSA
in hospital was 54.7. So far he’s had hormone tablets for 28 days and a 3 monthly hormone shot. The oncologist first appointment gave him the option of apalutamide or doxetal with daralutamide .

Health Anxiety
I had an elevated
PSA
in September - not past the limit usually set, but higher and my Dr's said they wanted to check further. I'm waiting for my 3rd blood test (a much more detailed one that the Dr. thought appropriate) and it's been 5 days. It's driving me nuts.

. ——- Hmmm… SBRT perhaps? Some drug(s)? Do nothing at this point? (Besides Bourbon, of course.)

Asking for my dad!!
He has responded well to the treatment thus far and
PSA
dropped from 24 at the time of diagnosis to 4.5 in 27 days. I live in Canada and my dad is in India. I am 31 weeks pregnant and super worried for my dad. I am doing everything I can but distance makes it so much more worse.

Bicalutamide Vs Eligard
Gleason 4+4 and
PSA
7.9. Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever, feeling good for a 65yo. RO doesn't seem to be in any hurry.

testosterone, following cancer, treatment with stable PSA
PSA
stable at .006. Low Free testosterone. My problem is fatigue and lack of strength in spite of working out. I am considering testosterone supplementation to a low level, while monitoring
PSA
. The literature supports that this is relatively safe, although to me, it seems illogical.

ED & zero libido
The past couple of oncology reviews have seen my
PSA
rising though the oncologist isn’t concerned. A bit of a quandary.
