BCR Prediction?
PSA
7/2020 = <.014
PSA
1/2022 = .010
PSA
8/2022 = .014
PSA
3/2023 = .024 I realize the
PSA
is extremely low 5 years out, is not considered BCR and my
PSA
has never been very high. At diagnosis I had a knee jerk reaction and failed to properly research treatment options.

Knee Surgery and Xtandi
Xtandi has driven my
PSA
to Undetectable <.01 so I asked him the question, will this compromise my
PSA
in any way for two weeks? He said no, it should help you to heal and to get back on your feet after surgery.

Recently Diagnosed. Overwhelmed.
I was advised that I was a candidate for active surveillance for the next year with periodic
PSA
checks and another biopsy in a year. I saw Dr. Catalona at Northwestern University in Chicago for a second opinion on February 12.

ART Management BCR : PSA n PSA Doubling Time Feb23 Commentary
Most important was not
PSA
but
PSA
doubling time.
PSA
doubling time 15 months, The conclusion is that
PSA
doubling time must be considered along with
PSA
to determine when men should be scanned. Once
PSA
is at 2.0 ng/mL, 100% of men are positive.

Hi every one I took 6 rounds of docetaxel in 2020 and my
PSA
went from 60 to 0.5 After my first round of cabazitaxel, my
PSA
goes from 110 to 145 Was it wrong to change the chemotherapy ? After on round, can we say cabazitaxel is not working? Thank you for your help

Intake question MSKCC
Now, my twin brother presents with an elevated
PSA
, and wants to be evaluated at MSK. He calls and is told they will NOT schedule an initial visit without a PRIOR DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER (!) Has anyone heard anything like that--that MSK wouldn't do an intake for a workup?

SBRT without ADT
My Gleason score is 7 with
PSA
8.1. PMSA revealed no spread. Two lessons on prostate one positive and other negative. I will start 5 day radiation in about 10 days. I opt for 5 days over the 20 day option. Are there any pre and post steps you would advise? Any side effects?

ADT "vacation" terminology questions
Do you wait for rising
PSA
or a fixed time to go by? What about when one has oligometastatic mHSPC? How many posters here who are or were on ADT "vacations" did so by their own request or by MO's orders?

About Radiation After Radical Prostatectomy
Do they use radiation as a tool to bring
psa
down in metastatic men? and or radiation is only used as palliative for bones and pain?

Xtandi is failing
I had a 2nd scare in April/May 2022 when my
PSA
rose to 39 and was doubling every 3 months. I started Xtandi in about May 2022 and got to 0.08 in a few months but
PSA
is increasing at a rate of around 10 times every 3 months and is now 8.7; that is concerning.

SARMs - RAD 140 update
Most recent
PSA
0.02 I think I can safely conclude that RAD 140 use caused my
PSA
to increase.

Stempede with Ogrovyx + Abi.
Now, 9 years later my
PSA
went from .4 to .9 in 12 months. PSMA Scan shows a 5mm spot on a small pelvic node. No MRI or CT would have found this! Dr's. starting me on Org., 28 days of Radiation and Abi. The whole hormone therapy part has me spooked.

My story so far.....Steely_Dan
PSA
last month stood at 0.008. 8.5 years and counting, guess I'm lucky. Approximately one year after DX I decided I needed something to keep me going so after much nudging the Manhattan Community College accepted me.

Xgeva side effects?????
I'm on Trelstar and my
PSA
is < 0.04. In March of this year I started taking Erleada. The side effects from both drugs have been minimal, some hot flashes and fatigue. Two months ago my doctor started me on Xgeva. The first dose I felt no ill effects, but the next dose kicked my butt.
