stopping Abiratrerone
I was diagnosed with PC in Jan 2001 with Gleason of 4+ and a
PSA
that never got above 10. From a PSMA scan, I have bone metasteses in skull, ribs, backbone, hips, pelvic bone. WE believe that in my case
PSA
has never been a very useful measure.

Rising PSA
Recently while on Lupron & NUBEQA
PSA
continues to rise. Now at 10.1 and Testosterone nondectable. PSMA/PET/CT scan last weeks states no metastases present. We meet with Dr. Aggarwal next week. Last month at our visit he told us at this point “Scans” are the compass not
PSA
readings.

Rising PSA -
Called MO and had
PSA
, urine, testosterone etc… labs done.
PSA
showed increase to 0.1. We realize this is extremely low but understand my
PSA
was not a good indicator of extent of my cancer from beginning. Scans done (CT and Bone Scan): showed increased size of prostate with mass.

One questions doctors never seem to be able to answer is at what PSA level do you start to experience pain or physical problems?

Does PSA drop after starting ADT tell us anything?
Before starting his
PSA
was 5.9. It was tested a few days ago and it’s 1.4 now. Does this tell us anything of any significance? Thanks!

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
.

Good News! Pluvicto Update
The news seems promising: On 28 January (after docetaxel, but before Pluvicto), my
PSA
was 36.2. After 2 rounds of Pluvicto on 8 April, my
PSA
had dropped to 14.5! So, I am remaining positive! I have a follow up PSMA-PET scan scheduled 17 May.

PSA still undetectable?
PSA
since op 0.01 latest
PSA
0.03 Urologist states will check it again in 3 months rather then 6. 0.03 still very low but why the rise. Could the cause be micro prostate cancer cells hiding somewhere? PSMA pet scan pre op all clear apart from the two lesions in Prostate.

What Next After Xtandi Fail?
Since then,
PSA
has been jumping around, but trending upward. End of 2023, it was at .67. Feb 2024,
PSA
up to .87. Yesterday, it was 1.16. Have Oncology appointment tomorrow. Time to talk what comes next. (We have been expecting this.) DNA testing is definitely a go. But what comes next?

Rising PCA - on ADT Holiday
Completed RT and 18 months on ADT (Nubeqa) paused the ADT in September after
PSA
non detectable and a fresh set of scans showed no “evidence of disease”. Continued to do bloodwork quarterly and
PSA
remained at 0. Until this week results came in at 1.2.

Next step..
PSA
UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started.
PSA
has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when
PSA
<0.04 or wait till
PSA
bumps?
