Update May 15, 2024
Does anyone have ideas why
PSA
would drop so drastically? Wishing all others good health too. UPDATE: April 5, 2024 Yesterday was very disappointing as my husbands
PSA
increased again by 183 points, last month his
PSA
was 1546 and now it is 1730. All his other CBC results were good.

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.

Effectiveness of ADT
His
PSA
was 79.5 and Gleason 5+5. One month earlier doctors started hormone therapy (Lupron 22.5 mg along with Abiraterone and iron and calcium tablets ). After one month his
PSA
dropped to 7.9 but ALP rose to 2655. For ALP i read that it will flare upto 6 moths after start of ADT .

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

ADT failure
Over the course of 4 weeks my dad's
PSA
moved from 1.46 to 2.14, He said we need to be on Zytiga for three months before we can deem it a failure, but just like Xtandi, it appears my dad had limited help with it. We have talked about the next steps, chemo and pluvicto.

Sorry me again
I posted after last
PSA
and have the chemo # 5
PSA
now. It was 0.12 again ,same as chemo # 4. I know this is low but I'm just worried it is not low enough and will stay there. Is it normal to stop at Chemo 4 and 5 .

Happy anniversary?
It was exactly 1 year ago that I got my first elevated
PSA
test that started my prostate cancer experience (I don’t like to say “Journey”). Details in my comic.

Bone pain, what next?
For over 2 years my scans show no radiographic progression despite a rising
PSA
, now at 43. However I am now experiencing periodic bone pain in the left hip area, mainly when I climb stairs. Tolerable but a worrying development.
