Newly diagnosed metastatic PC treatment options
Here are the key points in my story so far: In July 2023 a blood test showed a
PSA
value of 45. On September 26 2023, prostate MRI showed a dominant tumor in the prostate with extension into the right seminal vesicle.

Post Transplant psoriatic arthritis treatment
And so far I've struck out with the rheumatologist so far because I guess I'm what's known as seronegative but
PsA
doesn't have the same markers as RA and some others...Yet I LITERALLY have every symptom!

PSA drop after ADT
Would a 6-month, 9-month or 1 year ADT be sufficient followed by
PSA
monitoring? Thank you all for your advice.

Radiation and diarrhea/ GI issues/ please help
background:
PSA
21, Gleason 9 with spread to lymph nodes and small spot on hip bone. They are being aggressive (curative) given more limited spread and so the treatment is aggressive/ radiation to the prostate and the bone.

FYI: New data on progression of visceral mets without PSA progression (discordance) and ARAT/docetaxel therapy
But when met-advance/
PSA
level discordance occurs, it isn't necessarily the case - we can still have "normal" PCa. But how?

Slight PSA increase
Any idea if slightly increased
PSA
could also be a result of treatment (found studies that certain medications can elevate
PSA
serum level) or this is the first sign of castration resistance? Your feedback is very welcomed.

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.

my prostate cancer
PSA
has gone from 8.8 to 6.9 ( with 4K back in October of 22), to 5.06 to 5.25 to 4.85 to 5.08 as of a week ago. (The last one done not even 2 months after this last biopsy, but as part of a genetics research that I was asked to do).

mCRPC. Total PSA is up from 1.2 to 2.1 in 2 months, but free PSA went to 14% from 5%. Can this be hyperplasia, or in ADT any PSA up is PCa?

Experiances with Kaiser SF?

Bring PSA from 6.7 to 3.1 in 4 weeks by pure water fast (3wks) and vegan diet (1 wk).
After 14 days I got my first
PSA
and blood test. After 28 days I had my second
PSA
After two weeks I got the results from my first blood test and
PSA
test. The
PSA
had dropped from 6.7 to 3.8! I was delighted!

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
This kept the
PSA
low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my MO if I should be getting a scan. He said with the
PSA
that low, nothing would show up. So I went along with the plan (Lupron & Xtandi). A lump developed under my jaw this past August, which created the need for the scan.

Supplements and self-care
My
PSA
was 108. I started on Firmagon and my
PSA
kept rising up to 134 and my alkaline phosphatase was almost 350. After that first month I was switched to Lupron, which brought my
PSA
down to 53.

PSA rise soon after surgery!
And a focal/ very small part of inductal cancer. ( We got scared over that but they said it was very very small) Pre
PSA
surgery was 7,6 and 9.We were able to leave this. Atleast what we thought. Fast forward 4 months after last
PSA
check.

PSMA scan with PSA < 0.20?
Has anyone had a PSMA scan before
PSA
reached 0.20? If so, were any tumors detected?

PSA 6.9 six years after prostatectomy but PET/CT negative?
Another
PSA
test? Another CT scan? I mean, why would I subject myself to the Eligard if the scan shows no prostate cancer? Am I missing something? Thanks for any thoughts on this...other than the obvious thought that I'm an idiot for blowing off the
PSA
tests for three years.
