PSA < 0.1
Not <0.1, then you would know what your
PSA
number really is.

T level test
Having my first
PSA
test since IMRT in a few weeks. (last ADT/Lupron was early February. 90 day. Salvage IMRT Radiation ended Early January. Is there a reason my doc didn't order T level test to coincide with the
PSA
?

Lupron only after 4.5+ years
At what
PSA
? My last scans in December seemed stable, but we didn't run a PET scan as we have in other years, only a CT of lumbar and MRIs of prostate and pelvis. Thanks for input.

FYI: from the VA research information on Veterans
The researchers suggested these men could be regularly monitored using a
PSA
blood test and offered surgery to reduce symptoms if they develop.

Enzalutamide & ARCHES trial.
More from ASCO 2023 [1]: “We found in ARCHES that in the men who developed radiographic progression while on ADT-enzalutamide [Xtandi], two thirds of these patients, when they had radiographic progression, did not meet
PSA
progression criteria, and one third didn't have any rise at all in their

Eligard for me= poison
When getting Eligard shots after prostatectomy and radiation it was holding
PSA
level down. It also turned my thoughts angry and disgruntled. Doctor Larock from Mattapoisett is treating me with Flutamide and Bicalutimide 1 pill day each. Thanks Jesus I can write this and feel pretty good for 75.

2 Questions
PSA
on April 17 with just Lupron was .7. I started Xtandi on April 15th. My
PSA
on May 14th was still .7. My MO said this was likely my nadir. I’m not sure if radiation will be approved with a .7
PSA
. I’ve received the results of my 2nd PSMA PET scan yesterday.

After ADT
PSA
remained <0.1, whereas my T. rose from <0.4 to 0.9. Coming thursday I am seeing my oncologist/radiotherapist. Is there anything I should ask him about these results. I see him once every six months. Isn't that quite long? I thank you all for your attention.

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.
