I’ve finished the first 6 weeks of treatment (Lupron + Abiraterone with Prednisone) and
PSA
has gone from 8.6 to .53/ testosterone less than .4. I’ve had really none of the usual side effects like hot flashes or fatigue. I start radiation of the prostate in a couple weeks.

Another notice of passing that prompt me to update my profile.
"Ablin (MD) was the guy who discovered
PSA
. It's actually a pretty interesting video: it claims that life expectancy will not improve and that the treatments harm a significant number of people.

What is my PSADT?
My
PSA
on Jan 26 was 3.28 My urologist put me on antibiotic for 30 days and I retested yesterday at 3.66. I'm using the MSK PSADT calculator and doubling time varies depending on length of history I input.

CDK 12 mutation and Immunotherapy
Hi All, My
PSA
as is starting to rise on Arbi/Dexa. I have the CDK12 mutation which is apparently known to be a drug target or to predict sensitivity to Atezolizumab (Tecentriq PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitor), hence there is open Immunotherapy trial called BoB (NCT03767075).

Sulforaphane to lower PSA?
Hi all, curious here if anyone onboard has had any positive
PSA
lowing results, (in the 40-60 mg doses), especially it is interesting in the Ultra-ranges, using ‘Sulforaphane’, a suppliment that uses the certain positive extracts of raw broccoli, there apparently are some good indicators of it being

PSA testing comparison question
So fast forward to this past week and I needed more blood work for
PSA
and T in preparation for my quarterly call with Dr Kishan in 2 days (Tuesday), so I went to my primary care doctors office for the blood work.

Any Curative Treatments after RT as Sole Primary Treatment?
PSA
has been rising, but not officially nadir plus 2, but the old 3 rises in a row has been reached. If there is nothing curative to be done, do you just wait until nadir plus 2 is reached or something shows up on a scan? is there some way to be proactive? Tall_Allen didn't you have initial RT?

Retzius Sparing surgeon recommendations
Went for
PSA
test in October and it was 5.3 so not a huge difference but my urologist decided to restage my cancer since it’s been exactly 5 years.

5th Pluvicto tomorrow
My husband's lab work for tomorrow's treatment shows a new low on his
PSA
, 7.9. Again there are blood numbers that are in the "low" range but last time the Doctor Wasn't concerned and we were able to return to Mexico 3 days after treatment.

Disgusted with Healthcare
I had to request my PCP to do a
PSA
as it wasn't standard practice. I had to call the urologist, who I originally saw, after I joined this board and knew I should be starting ADT, even though they hadn't two months after my scans showed Stage IV.

Finished 8 Rounds of Docetaxel
Before starting Docetaxel my
PSA
was 23.8; after 8 rounds my
PSA
dropped to 5.7! My MO is giving me a 3 month break. I will get another
PSA
in 3 months and we will reassess my situation. My MO has already told me my next treatment will be pluvicto. Hopefully I won’t need it for quite a while.

Psa doubled in less than a month
After giving time for the
PSA
to settle I had a test which showed that it doubled in close to 3 months. In preparation for a CT and bone scan to see if there is progression I had blood work done today and figured I might as well have a
PSA
test as well.

Strong negative reaction to first Docetaxel treatment
PSA
from 466 to <.10 between February and May. Should I attempt to continue chemo? I am probably willing to try again with some preventative measures thrown in but cannot go through again what I experienced this week. Interested in thoughts on what happened, why and what can be done to prevent.
