so a different shoe dropped
Then in 2018 his internal medicine doctor ordered a routine
PSA
. Same time his VA doctor also ordered a routine
PSA
. Yeah both were outside the normal range. So he was referred to the urologist. More PSAs and the dreaded bend over and cough.

Hi, looking for information sources if anyone knows of any
However a professor of rheumatology disagreed and I’ve since been diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions ( psoriasis,
PsA
, hashimotos, MMP). A couple of years ago I started getting strange blisters, dismissed by doctors as heat rash, chill blains (in summer 🙄) and so forth.

Has Anyone had a CGA CHROMOGRANIN A, EIA Test ? It’s tumor marker test.
PSA
@ diagnosis 942. 40 currently <0.06 ng/mL I have had blood in stool since July, it’s bright red, I’m having to wait to see Gastroenterologist until next week. I was put on Taltz and only on it 6 months and the main side effect is IBS with blood, as noted on line.

Single positive lymph node - experiences?
Have postponed HT with rising
PSA
(now 8.9). Had SRT 2011 to prostate bed. Have had Axumin scan and then had 3rd PSMA PET scan recently (this month). All so far were negative until most recent, found single inguinal lymph node positive. Am being treated by uro oncologist. I see him next Tuesday.

Tests/Scans etc
My husband has monthly
PSA
and Chromogranin A blood tests .
PSA
remains undetectable but Chroma A is creeping up but still low. His oncologist is not keen on extra scanning but without this how do we check for any progression that isn't indicated by the
PSA
level?

Some hopeful test news:🙏🏻
My son had a
PSA
of 20 just 3 mo after RRP last October 24th. Prior to that we had no idea from his test results that the PC was outside of the prostate. It had gone to his pelvic lymph nodes plus he’s tertiary five.

Just feeling down
Hi Group, To get to it, my
PSA
recently jumped back up about 60%. It’s now over 1600 after lowering to around 1000. . I’m just learning to manage radiation side effects - to the extent I can - and trying to move back into some “normal” or at least semi-stable state.

Seeking options/opinions

My Small PCa Cells Don't Produce PSA

PSA
hovering between 0.3 and 0.6. MO appointment coming in up with a big question in my mind: continue with chemo or not? My QOL is approaching the tipping point. I'm a warrior but am not going to fight a losing battle and suffer with tons of pain in many places.

As for posting the two names here, it crossed my mind that linking them might make it easier for people who might want to follow up on some of the topics I'm particularly interested in: "prejudice against
PSA
testing", "ADT choices", "ADT and exercise", "triplet therapy".

Still true that using same scan type is preferable to changing scan type?
While looking for something else, I came across the following advice in my notes--best to stick with same scan type just as it's best to stick with same lab for testing
PSA
. Tall Allen gave the following advice in October, 2022. With most guys now getting PSMA scans, does this advice still hold?
