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.

Into the 4th year, updates and next step
They say it's a subtype that doesn't express
PSA
, but they didn't include NSE in his blood work.

Radiation Interruption
You did not mention any
PSA
or Gleason number. Not sure that would matter...but someone here might venture another opinion based on those numbers and If he is metastatic or not. We are all withyou!

Sudden onset of severe leg pain
His
PSA
has dropped with the chemo treatments (142 -> 57 -> 47) - wouldn't that possibly correlate to reduced tumor activity and less pain? c) something entirely unrelated, though I can't imagine what that could be.

I'm 83, prostate cancer(
PSA

What should I expect at the end?
His
PSA
is doubling each week now that his medication is no longer working and has risen from 200 to 600 since December. The goal is to keep him comfortable and happy, but I’m wondering what the end may look like at this stage and if anyone has any input.

Asking for advice
Today my
PSA
is 0.06. The meeting with my Dr. is scheduled to next week. My doctor suggested 2 years of ADT. Is it possible for me suggest to stop or to shorten the duration of my ADT? Or is it dangerous?

Prostatitis or PCA or both?
On levo, but still
PSA
is high 13 most recently. With levo sensitive to bacteria found, I thought my
PSA
should have come down by now. Could it be rare Pca? Anyone else with similar experience?

How long to Castrate Resistance: ADT+/- ARSI
Another measure is
PSA
progression which is available for all groups as a proxy for regimen failure: This is 2.3% (8/355) for ADT+E combo; 26% (93/358) for ADT mono; and 10% (37/355) for Enzalutamide monotherapy. Paul/MateoBeach

advice for docetaxel
I became castrate resistant about two years ago as my
PSA
was slowly rising. I have done Provenge and then lastly a clinical trial through Duke University. My
PSA
is now around 14, which is the highest it has been since my diagnosis.

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.

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.
