He believes that with my husband’s initial high
psa
(47), and subsequent stage 3b with Gleason 9, that these nodes may have already been positive at dx, but that they were too small for a CT scan or MRI to detect. The neoadjuvant 3 month Lupron put them to sleep.

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

Pluvicto
My
PSA
fell from about 90 to 35 after the first dose and to about 15 after the second. What they measure in the blood work has either been within the normal range or showing a positive trend. The scans show no new mets, a visible reduction in the old ones, and a notable size reduction in several.

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?

A good day today
Dad had initial
PSA

So unsure what to do...
I am a 53 year old gay man and I have had raised
PSA
since 2020. My urologist performed a DRE and felt nothing and decided that we should watch the number and see what happens. 1 year later, the urologist decided to send me for an MRI and it showed no signs of cancer.

Potential biochemical recurrence post radical prostatectomy, looking for perspective on the outcomes and treatments.
63-year old Male, months shy of 5-year mark of the radical prostatectomy, showed
PSA
of .08 in January then .07 in March. Originally had up to Gleason 9’s. I know it’s not technically a recurrence until .2, and doubling time is the next variable to look out for.

ART How Should We Monitor Patients During Active Surveillance?
MIN 9:20 Regimen for AS NCCN –
PSA
total each 6 months (PSAd not mentioned), DRE and/ or Biopsies annually, and MRI if Anterior (forward side of Prostate) tumor suspected via
PSA
increases n negative DRE! [This was my case;
PSA
kept going up and DRE’s were negative.

Side effects experienced once you add Zytiga to Orgovyx
It took two and half months after MRI and PSMA PET scan to get his biopsy...
PSA
went up another 7 points in two and a half months. The MO he met within was very neutral and said it was up to my husband.

It's only been 6 weeks post his surgery but a
psa
of 7 post prostate removal seems terrifying and like a really bad sign...

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone,
PSA
increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4
PSA
dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga.
