PSA after surgery
My first
PSA
test after the surgery was 0.33 and I had another one done three weeks ago, and it was 0.22. The
PSA
number is coming down, but should the number be somewhere around 0. I have an appointment to see a radiation oncologist next Monday.

My dads PSA is climbing, Olaprib next?
If you have seen my previous posts, my dad had a

Gleason Score 5+5
My problems are like a full truck and wonder if that is the reason why my
PSA
remains above 7 after RP. Cancerous cell seems have spread to lymphnodes as i heard it prodcues
PSA
to make my
PSA
so high. It seems 5+5=10's prognosis is very gloomy.

excuse me asking. Brain fog.
Long story short, wanted me to try and taper down until a comfortable level , and we would discuss In October, when I have to have further
PSA
tests, and stuff. We discussed going from 10 to 9 ..8 and so on. My Brain is not functioning .

Welcome to Stage Denial
It was a
PSA
score of 9.2, the result of a routine blood test in February 2023, had embarked on this exploration Surgery has been ruled out as a treatment option because of the spread. So, various treatment options have been outlined for me including radiation, ADT, and some form of chemo.

18 vs 24 mos ADT
PSA
is undetectable. MO has agreed to 24 mos ADT since I had a clean bone scan originally, lymph nodes do not show disease now. Tumor was outside prostate on MRI.

perspective
Now I’m facing my
psa
on the rise again, and a third round of radiation, cyberknife to the spine and pelvis, or maybe chemo, the docs are still discussing. And looking back I realize my dad was not dying for those 9 years, he was living and loving his best life.

Wife of mCRPC. You men are rockstars. Need advice
My question - If his
PSA
continues to decline on Taxotere, does he stop after 6? Based on my bio, do you have any suggestions about what’s next? Does anyone go into a temp remission, or shall we expect
PSA
to rise shortly after infusion stops?

What to expect with mets and no treatment
For example, has anyone here delayed treatment for a long time on purpose and is still living and
PSA
is still high? If so, what limitations they have (wheel chair or cane?), or someone who only discovered PCa after painful urinary symptoms or other symptoms of spread.

Explain my PSMA PET SCAN Please..
No
PSA
values available. PSMA PET/CT for subsequent treatment strategy. TECHNIQUE: The patient received an IV injection of 9.2 mCi F18 Piflufolastat in the righthand. After an initial uptake phase of approximately 60minutes, a CT scan with oral contrast, without IV contrast was acquired. .

PSA Accuracy/Variation Help Needed
For example, If the tolerance is +/- 0.05, then my actual
PSA
could be anywhere between 0.18 and 0.28. Does anyone know this number for
PSA
tests? Secondly, can anyone tell me about the variation in
PSA
numbers resulting from multiple tests?
