biclutamide without lupron?
I have high
psa
and am waiting on a psma in 12 days, then meeting with a oncologist. Urologist want to start biclutamide and lupron now. I am concerned about side effects. Read some older studies 2017-2019 saying biclutamide as a monotherapy was a good option. Any opinions out there?

Just Diagnosed
About three years ago I had a routine
PSA
done by my primary doctor in Illinois. Shortly after I moved to Nevada , retiring. So I received a call from my Dr. In Illinois who tells me that my
PSA
is 12.7. He explains that it is very high and I must see a Urologist very soon.

Treatment - radiation vs. surgery
The trade off's being that there is more likely short term urinary tract and bowel irritation possible with radiation and that some prostate tissue remains so there is always going to be some level of
PSA
produced and may be less sensitive to monitor for recurrence.

PSA Accuracy/Variation Help Needed
For example, If the tolerance is +/- 0.05, then my actual
PSA
could be anywhere between 0.18 and 0.28. Does anyone know this number for
PSA
tests? Secondly, can anyone tell me about the variation in
PSA
numbers resulting from multiple tests?

Update on my PSA from 100 to 3.9 on Casodex and Lupron
My
PSA
came down from 100 to 3.9 in 30 days. I’m sure someone here will find a way to rain on my parade. The attached chart is my updated
PSA
, including today. Today I had my second Lupron injection after 30 days of Casodex and Lupron.

Advice Needed, Abiraterone Failing?
Can a low
PSA
of 8.20 be a serious issue, especially the rate of rise over a short period? I am 63 in October of this year. PS I was told by my GP when I was 57, I was too young to have a Prostate Cancer test! Many Thanks, Northern Ireland Resident.

What is our APCa community's take on the new age 70 PSA screening limits?
I've been reading about a recent change in
PSA
screening in England to limit
PSA
screening for under-70-year-old men to some criteria based on having certain symptoms or at risk.

Radiation after triple therapy?
PSA
.2 as of beginning of 6th cycle. Meeting with MO on Tuesday and seeking recommendations of further treatment. Currently, I have no pain. My thought is to use RT to control metastasis and prevent future fractures. Is this a good time in my treatment to begin RT?

4K test says H. What now?
The 4K test indicated a
PSA
of 15 - up from 13 in March and 11 in December. There was an "H" next to it, I assume indicating a high probability of cancer in the next 10 yrs. I'm curious about what 2nd directed biopsy will show.
