PSA
now at .08 - thats the lowest I have had since contacting this prick of a disease. End of chemo was .52 and .48 so pretty significant. The plan now is to test again every 12wks/3mths and act only upon increased
PSA
or pain etc...

What is my best treatment option?
11/2023 1.3
12/2023 5.0
1/2024 20.0 I currently feel great with no pain, fatigue etc. I know I now need to resume treatment. But what? 1. Resume ADT. I was still hormone sensitive when I took a treatment vacation. 2.

What is done in this case ? ADT not working
In may of 2011 the
PSA
and Biopsy showed that I had an agressive cancer with Gleason 8 so my prostate was extracted and after this I received radiotherapy.

Radiation after Docetaxel
In December his
PSA
was .61. In February it jumped to 2.3. He went for a PET scan. He went back to the doctor today his
PSA
jumped to 6. The scan showed that many of the metastasis in his bones shrunk are almost gone.

radiation treatment delayed
I decided to forgo radiation since
PSA
remains non detectable. Maybe just lucky but I felt no need for radiation on less there was a positive pc result. Good luck everyone

Low-T is associated with worse Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality probability after 6 months of ADT: Part II
These plots show that the probability of dying from prostate cancer (after
PSA
failure) is significantly worse for men with Low-T. Since this data is [i]after
PSA
failure[/i], we can assume that the men in this cohort are
castrate-resistant.

High Gleason score + .2 PSA
Only a few years ago, the cutoff
PSA
for starting radiation was .5 Now, my doc and others want to start before it gets to .2 (I'm at .11, and I have a "risk factor" due to Gleason 9 score) https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/

PSA vs Testosterone Nadir for CRPC and Non-CRPC
This plot from Safriadi (2022) compares the mean values of
PSA
nadir versus Testosterone Nadir comparing Non-Castrate Resistant PC (Non-CRPC) to Castrate-Resistant PC (CRPC) men. For Non-CRPC men, the range of T-nadir was 2.5-49 ng/dL (mean = 21) and range for
PSA
nadir was 0.02-9 ng/mL (mean=2).

The paradigm has shifted - castrate resistance.
My T level recovered much more quickly during the last vacation than during previous vacations, and my
PSA
rose correspondingly. At 4 months my T level was 325 and my
PSA
was 4.

Rising PSA
Recently while on Lupron & NUBEQA
PSA
continues to rise. Now at 10.1 and Testosterone nondectable. PSMA/PET/CT scan last weeks states no metastases present. We meet with Dr. Aggarwal next week. Last month at our visit he told us at this point “Scans” are the compass not
PSA
readings.

Rising PSA -
Called MO and had
PSA
, urine, testosterone etc… labs done.
PSA
showed increase to 0.1. We realize this is extremely low but understand my
PSA
was not a good indicator of extent of my cancer from beginning. Scans done (CT and Bone Scan): showed increased size of prostate with mass.

1 year on - no PSA but tumor has "progressed"
He
hasn't
yet had a second
PSA
test, nor has he had a second biopsy. Note that while he may choose
not
to have the second biopsy (let's see what the forum thinks), he
is
going for his second
PSA
test (early next week) .

Minor psa increase again
Just over 12 months since adt finished. All clear at <0.01 2 months ago when it started to rise to 0.03 then 4 weeks later 0.05 now 0.07. Have Dr's app in 3 weeks which will probably be a referral back to oncologist. Do we need to wait until 2.0 then a PET scan or can I be proactive now? My adt was

Muscle loss
Can I incorporate creatine monohydrate without effecting my
PSA
or exacerbating my BPH? I'm Stage 4, Gleason 9, mets to lymph system.
PSA
is .010. I'm happy with that, however the loss of strength/ stamina is causing unnecessary pain in my body? Any info would be great.. Thank you.
