Options when Docetaxel stops working
His
PSA
was 52 at the time of his diagnosis. He went on Lupron and Abiraterone which took his
PSA
to .03 and kept it low until Oct 2022. It went to 8.9 and his doctor put him on Docetaxel chemo. His
PSA
has continued to rise and his oncologist has kept him on this chemo. His
PSA
is now 48.

so discouraged after the fibromyalgia workshop that I just participated in.
I still can't tell the difference between it and my
PSA
. I may have been exercising too much and thus keeping the pain cycle going. So discouraged. I probably needed some help four years ago to systematically do some sort of systematic exercise program. Really, will I ever really know?

Combine standard care with alternative care
My
PSA
in three months went from 58 to 70 with alternative treatment so I intend to take two Relugolix pills to lower it and continue the alternative care. My oncologist disagrees as does my naturopath but the U of M demonstrated what works. What say you.

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.

My husband's most recent
PSA

Go-forward Treatment Plan
He just had a re-test few days ago and the
PSA
has remained at 0.48 over the month . With the rapid
PSA
rise, we had a PSMA PET scan done, and got the results today that there was [u]
uptake in the pelvic lymph node but nowhere else.

PSA going in wrong direction
Visit with my MO revealed a
PSA
increase from .21 in August to .7 today. Seems the numbers are defying the treatment. Thoughts anyone?

What is Your Opinion on Docetaxel Added to Doublet Therapy for Early Oligorecurrent Metaststic M1a Prostate Cancer?
At
psa
of 0.16 , a PSMA scan showed three sub centimeter retro caval nodes lit up for metastasis. His dzx was early metastatic disease. He went on doublet with Lupron/Abi/Pred and we made the personal decision to pursue extended pelvic IMRT with boost to avid nodes.

declining psa #6
Furthermore, prior to starting ivermectin,
psa
would shoot to to 6.7-7.7 when I would get off adt. I’m not saying this is for everyone but it’s thus far working for me after 9 months and something possible to look into especially when
psa
is in its infant stages and pca oligo metastatic.

PSMA pet scan negative
My
PSA
was 0.1 on july 17th and 0.3 on Oct 16th. PSMA scan was done on Nov 7th but was negative. Am I safe to assume there must be some prostate cancer cell present that are not showing up on the scan? I am meeting with my MO at Dana Farber next week Any suggestions moving forward?

Orgovyx stopped woking.
PSA
went from 35 to 5 in first month. Second month,
PSA
went from 5 to 8. This month
PSA
is 18. Looks like cancer is castrate resistant. Anyone else had this problem. If so what did your doc switch you to and how is it working for you? I talked to my doc today, he said he might switch me to Xandi.

Orchiectomy
I have been on Lupron Xtandi and Hi dose Vitamin C for the last 19 months my current
PSA
is <0.1 and has been for the last 6 months. I am 83 years old and am in reasonable good health, other than pc. I have read that having an orchiectomy would yield longer life. Also I could get off of Lupron.

PSA seasonality
For this reason I analyzed my old
PSA
readings during the 2+ years before starting Bicalutamide. I divided the year into two halfs assigning winter as the period starting on the autumnal equinox and ending on the vernal one. Summer is the remaining.
