My brother has advanced Prostate Cancer
After 1 month his
PSA
increased but M.O. told him we should wait at least 3 months to make sure. Now 2 months passed and his
PSA
increased again from 39 to 46. During this past month he had radiotherapy on his pelvic area for the second time.

What does this mean?
My Testosterone was 233 prior to this it was < 7 and my
PSA
was <0.01. Does this new result seem possible. The
PSA
is valid considering I had the same result on my annual just a month ago. Thanks for your thoughts.

After the testosterone recovers, what should my

Long Journey
Over the years
PSA
would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017,
PSA
started rising fast. Brought an MO into the mix. I was placed on Lupron, Xgeva and Erleada (apalutamide). That worked for 5.5 years until we figured out Erleada was making me dizzy.

"18F-flotufolastat is approved by the FDA for use in patients with suspected prostate cancer metastasis who are potentially curable by definitive surgery or radiation, and patients with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated
PSA
levels."

Provenge
All-time low
PSA
was 0.5 in 4/2021. This year 1.01, .98, .97 (two months ago).
PSA
up and down over the years. Axumin PET scheduled for January, last 9/2021. At least three bone Mets, two in vertebrae, one inside hip socket. Am I a candidate for Provenge (among other things)?

Side effects from Xtandi monotherapy?
after failing multiple times on regular ADT plus SBRT and finally failing LU– 177 and Provenge, my
PSA
went on the rise again. I’ve been on mono Xtando for six weeks and not feeling well despite trying to exercise heavily. Going in for bloodwork tomorrow. What kind of labs should I ask for?

LIQUID BIOPSY: Hello friends, what do you know about Liquid biopsy of circulating tumor ctDNA? Is it usefull with 6.2 PSA ?
Is it usefull with 6.2
PSA
? Depending on the results do we get access to some novel drugs like olapariv or nivolumab, etc, that might help us ? 🫠thanks, Manilo.

When to do certain blood tests and why.
I had my annual physical yesterday and my GP had ordered complete blood panel with thyroid and
PSA
. There were no issues with blood work and
PSA
was not detectable. My 6 month follow up is scheduled with my MO and RO is January. My MO gave me my lab slip at 3 months.

My PSA tripled in 8 months
My
PSA
went down to 0.005 from May to November. Yesterday I had my blood test again and the report indicated my
PSA
has jumped to 0.159. I am panic. Can you explain what does that mean and anything I should do? Also I wonder if I can take any Zinc ?
