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.

Another brother passes
He was DX'd at 85 with prostate cancer (
PSA
of 1200) behind his eye which spread to his brain. Failed ADT, chemo and Pluvicto. He was not on this forum. He was very active, skied 120 days a year, biked the rest. He and his wife went to Europe every year. One year to ski and the next to bike.

Letting Go
What I am about to say may seem easy from the perspective of undetectable
PSA
and clear scans these past 10 years. I assure you that at the time there was nothing easy about it. Letting go is a transition. It requires releasing perceived control over your life.

He also said that I am currently Low volume, low
PSA
Oligmatistic. Can someone translate. I had a PSMA scan a couple of weeks ago and the Radiation Oncologist said that I had a positive response. Thanks in advance.

Clinical Trial Dallas UT Southwestern
I am a low
PSA
emitter and Gleason 9 all 12 cores tested. The point I want to bring up is that she remarked that now she can see why I responded so well to Lu-177. I will post part of her reply to me. This is only FYI ..you can take it anyway you want.

MRI guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for favorable intermediate recurrence?
Pre ablation
PSA
was 5.76. Post ablation
PSA
1.25, eventually rising to 1.96. One year later, left side clean in MRI and biopsy. However, right side determined to have 2 cores with 3+4, and 4+3.

Post EBRT notes
PSA
is still <0.1. RO, and MO still refuse ultra sensitive!!! Had
PSA
done a month into radiation, and just now, but never raised. I thought dead PCa cells would give off
PSA
. My Lymphocytes are getting back to normal, now .69 from a low of .45 a month ago.

I hope and pray that both the testosterone and the
PSA
continue to remain at low levels.

PSA reading
I had
PSA

PSA

Asking for best guess info
As I've written, my husband stopped all treatment this past July after Lupron/Xtandi were causing worsening SEs while
PSA
was doubling/tripling from undetectable. He's now receiving palliative care and just had his first comprehensive bloodwork since the MO's on June 30.

ED no more
We stayed for 4 months and my
PSA
dropped to 0.14 and cleared up my mets. The following year my
PSA
started doubling again so I went back. This time I had one more round of Lute 177 that completely restored my spine and cleared up some remaining mets.

My scans showed spread but......
They report on prolactin dependent prostate cancer which has no markers like a
PSA
and more die from it than testosterone dependent prostate cancer. Check them out.

He lived a wonderful life
We initially learned of his very high
PSA
level on 10/14/2021 (two years prior), with the diagnosis of Stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer soon thereafter. In addition to advanced prostate cancer, he had dementia that progressed significantly in his last several months.

11 days after 1st Lupron jab-no side effects
When I went for the jab my
PSA
was 10.6 and my T-level was 354. I'm wondering if this is normal.

PSMA Results
My
PSA
is currently 0.670, with a doubling time of approximately six months. I’ve just had a second PSMA and they found a spot in my left pubic bone, right iliac area and the prostate bed. They are now suggesting radiotherapy to the three areas together with hormone treatment.
