PSA Went Up After Start of ADT
Prior to starting ADT, my
PSA
was .37 and a month prior was .22. I had blood drawn right after my first session of radiation yesterday and got the result back today. My
PSA
has gone up to .53. Is this normal

Now for something completely different
If you are in the earlier group start requesting a
PSA
test (not the most accurate test) but its all we have- at 50. Don't wait. I just hope the anaesthetic doesn't stir up the dragon (I'm Welsh) from its lair.

Tests in regard to treatment
Hi Folks, After RP ~6 months ago with persistent
PSA
> .15, I've begun ADT using Orgovyx, and salvage pelvic RT. When should I expect that my RO will order testing, and for what? For example blood tests for
PSA
& testosterone.

I fired my oncologist
Now a year later my
PSA
is still undetectable and T rose to 9 (normal range 251-1068). I'm feeling better but still depressed and I want my sex drive back. So the plan now is to retest in Sept and if
PSA
is still undetectable then restart testosterone injections.

gleason score
first clue was
psa
250 then 300 on re-check. Psma showed local mets to nodes and suspicious to nodes in back. Started lupron 2 weeks ago. Just had biopsy which showed gleason score of 4+3= 7. Im happily shocked, was prepared for a 10. i’m not sure what to even think about this.

Docetaxel Update
Prior to starting Docetaxel, my
PSA
was 23.6; after 3 rounds, my
PSA
is 10.7; a decline of 12.9! Yes, the SE are BAD. I have lost all of my hair. My fingernails are discolored, lifting off and sore. I have aches and pains, I can’t walk well because my balance sucks. Food does not always stay down.

Oncologist and prostate surgeon conflicting treatment
Since then
PSA
has dropped to the lowest it can be.Now out of the blue when my Dad was seeing the prostate surgeon for urinary issues which have resolved, the surgeon thinks my Dad should come off the therapy (10 months later) and see if his
PSA
should rise to 4.

Help! Need feedback on Pluvicto recommendation
2) Have any of you had Pluvicto with a
PSA
below 1? 3) For any who’ve had Pluvicto while basically asymptomatic, how has it affected your quality of life? Thank you!!

Newly diagnosed
My
psa
in March of this year was 8.2 and then 10.1 four months later, so rising quickly. Biopsy was done at end of August, which showed significant tumor development on the right side and a Gleason score of 4,5 or 5,4 in half of the cores taken.

Pluvicto Aftereffects SMART syndrome?
He had a hiccup with the supply issues, but
PSA
dropped significantly and his side effects during treatment were perfectly manageable, until .... We were heading to NM via West Texas when he began complaining of bright light and headaches. Then he got suddenly much weaker.

Abiraterone - alternatives
However the onco is now saying he will pull him off the Abi as his
PSA
has doubled for the each of the 2 months he’s been on it. In the UK once you’ve been on Abi for 3 months you can’t get Enzalutamide - should we therefore be asking for Enza before the 3 months are up ?

Initial

psa

Radiation for Salvage Treatment
I am about to start salvage treatment after a failed surgery and a rising
PSA
value of 0.1. However, I would like to know if weeks of external radiation with ADT, is the best treatment option here.

radiation whack-a-mole?
Now after two years of undetectable
PSA
, my numbers are rising. A recent prostate-specific PET scan shows a new hotspot in C3, the cervical vertebrae, and they are proposing another round of radiation. I got two years from the last round of radiation, though with significant side effects.

Trying To Hold Onto Hope
Hi all, I last wrote on here back in the fall because my dad was deteriorating quickly after ending 2nd round of chemo and his
