Low psa, but have pca
Even though it's a Gleason 6, urologist at top teaching hospital in Philadelphia says I need a radical prostatectomy soon because the
PSA
is low, (0.7), he says this means the cancer could be clone or rebel cancer cells and they don't give off the antigen to elevate the
PSA
, but they could be aggressive

Biopsy results review tomorrow - suggestions on questions to ask?
Given the MRI report (PIRADS 5, “lit up” lymph node,
PSA
doubling), we and the doctors suspect it’s cancer. Just waiting for the official biopsy to confirm. My question to all of you who have gone through this, is going into urologist appt tomorrow, what questions would recommend my dad ask?

Diagnostic VS Symtomatic PSA Results
Sometimes my
PSA
results are labeled “Symptomatic” and sometimes “Diagnostic” are the results comparable?

PSA went from 0.97 to 0.99 during chemo treatments. Should we be concerned?
His latest blood results showed
PSA
of 0.99 however the ones 3 weeks before was 0.97. I am concerned with the results as so for each blood test since starting the treatment it’s been decreasing. Please let me know what this means. Thank you.

Treatment Question
Overall it seems like a good report, however I am still concerned about his rising
PSA
. When I asked his MO about this, she basically said we wait until it reaches about 10 before becoming concerned as it is most likely the residual lesions producing the
PSA
.

switching to a carnivore diet has put my PMR into total remission
She decided to put me on methotrexate (stiff dose, 25mg once a week) because that is a treatment for both RA and
PSA
. I find the methotrexate unpleasant (it has side effects) but am giving it a try until I see her again in late May. (Rheumy appointments are not readily available!)

3 years Post-VRMAT-RT & ADT
After 3 years my
PSA
went from
20.3 μg/L
down to <
0.01 μg/L
and Testosterone from
438.04ng/dL
down to
60.52 ng/dL
🙈🙉🙊. As of July 07, 2023. How much longer do I have to wait for a more normal Testosterone Totale. I like my
PSA
that low but a little bit higher.

Pluvicto, Not Helping
My
PSA
has done nothing but rise, my QOL continues to get worse, and they just don't seem to want any of my input. Anyone else having issues like this with CC or any other hospitals?

Asking for a friend.
Don’t know his
PSA
number. I told my friend that guys in my PC support group with a Gleason score of 6 have been on active surveillance for years. Anyone riding that boat with some info I can pass along. The guy is scared to death. ET 51

Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Dad is now 82 and the effects of treatment are more evident than ever on him. 😞 Fast forward to the present, when seeing his
PSA
on the rise his oncologist considered Pluvicto.

Update on cabazitaxel
PSA
at the start was 83. It fell to 61 after the first treatment, and way down to 20 after the second on July 24. The third treatment was yesterday, July 14. I had chemo with docetaxel in 2022, when
PSA
fell from about 60 to about 8, but no lower.

Metastatic PC
At that time I had 28 radiation treatments and
PSA
dropped to 0.05. No therapy from Jan 2023 and ongoing.
PSA
started rising in early 2023 from 0.05, 0.08, 0.66, to 2.8 in June 2023. PSMA Pet scan shows the cancer has metastasized to rib, possibly lung and lymph nodes in the pelvic region.
