PSMA Scan to be scheduled - thank you Tall Allen
My latest
PSA
value is 0.51. The oncologist and his resident pulled up a study during our meeting that showed that, with a
PSA
of .5, a PSMA scan likely would show the location of the cancer cells 50% of the time.

Low testosterone is associated with extremely poor survival metrics, post-ADT.
These companion plots compare: (A) median survival times, (B)
PSA
doubling times, and (C) Time to
PSA
Failure for two different levels of testosterone: Low and Normal. The low testosterone has a median value of 162 ng/dL [120-236] and the average normal T = 680 ng/dL.

Does this mark the beginning of castration resistance?

I need facts on nutrition, vitamins and supplements.
I am a 5 year survivor, currently in recurrence with a rising
PSA
. Doc has started me on Lupron and Enzalutamide. I’m interested in learning factual info on the effects of diet, nutrition, vitamins and supplements on PCa. I’ve read tons of theories. Where are the clinical reports? Thanks!

copper chelation is not something from the past: phase 2 trial gives hope!
Twenty-seven percent of participants showed reductions in
PSA
levels of greater than 80%," the company said. https://www.auntminnie.com/clinical-news/molecular-imaging/article/15666449/clarity-reports-on-third-cohort-in-copper-theranostic-trial

Leflunamide
Good morning, I've been diagnosed with
PsA
and been on mtx 15mg injections for 8 months. No noticeable change. Rheumy wants me to try leflunamide now but I'm not happy as I have stomach problems due to a burst stomach ulcer so need to be careful.

Targeted Biopsy
I’ve been on active surveillance for 10 years but last three
PSA
tests have been rising. I’m currently being treated at Duke Medical but want to ensure best care for targeted biopsy.

PSA Doubling-Time
The different lines show the effect of different
PSA
doubling times (DT), ranging from DT 15 months. The lines are essentially straight lines, indicating a linear increase in the Incidence of Death as Time increases.

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?
