Scans other than PSMA for PC
My husband’s
PSA
continues to rise yet his PSMA scans are all clear. His last PSMA was late October with a
PSA
of 4.7 His
PSA
today was 6.5 It seems I have noted on this forum some other type scans should be done besides PSMA. His ALK PHOSPHATE is 85 (normal) Calcium levels all normal.

The Biopsy showed staging pT3b 30% ductal after a Gleason score of 5+4=9 My
PSA
after removal was 0.22 then 4 weeks later 0.38 and now I am waiting on a
PSA
test in March to see what treatment is best for me.

Rising PSA
A gradual increase in
PSA
(1.2) with the prospect of changes to treatment if it continues at the current rate and gets near to 4. The oncologist is suggesting probably chemo but I would like to know more about other options before that discussion so that I am prepared.

Not great news for hubby today. What is next?
Oncologist today said to continue the Abiraterone for another month and see where we are at with
PSA
results. Was up again today. He did have 6 rounds of targeted radiation last month, so would that cause
PSA
to go up. We were hoping the Abiraterone would lower the
PSA
.

PSA and Eligard and bicalutamide
My
PSA
keep rising. Today,
PSA
went up to 1.1 (Today-03/13/24) from 0.37 (January). Doctor told me to take another Eljgard injection next week. This is the 2nd time. Doctor asked me to stop taking bicalutamide and dutasteride, as they appear not to be effective any longer.

PSA of <0.1 undetectable?
My latest
PSA
came back as <0.1. My MO sent me a message with the results: "congratulations, great news, your
PSA
is undetectable!" I thought undetectable was 0.01, is it more likely she misread the number or that the lab used by Kaiser only reports an undetectable number as <0.1?

Is a false-positive biopsy possible?
As a result, for the last 13 years, I've had my
PSA
checked every six months. I typically run a very low
PSA
, historically .5 or .6. About 18 months ago I noticed that my
PSA
was rising, from .63, then .75, then .89, and then in September, it was .97.
