I have low volume
PSA
as it only peaked at 2.2. Thoughts are welcome -

Reference Library of Papers about Dutasteride for Treating Prostate Cancer
In one study, Dutasteride monotherapy reduces
PSA
by 50%, reduces prostate volume by 25%, and reduces tumor volume by 30%, after 6 months of treatment, compared to placebo (Moore, 2017).

Use hormone therapy or not with Proton therapy
Hi All, Question, doctor is suggesting hormone therapy along with proton therapy (28 treatments of radiation) my gleason score went from 3+3 to 4+3 last year and
psa
doubled from 10 to 20. I tried to get in to this study to determine the genetics of tumor but they said tumor sample was bad.

taxotere and PSA
PSA
rose from 4.9 to 5.1. PSMA scan showed decline in bone Mets. Tried a bit of fasting. Just switched to cabitaxel due to seeming failure of docetaxel based on
PSA
rise. Wondering if
PSA
increase was the result of fasting due to a small weight loss.

Helpful group
PSA
at diagnosis was 26 and first blood work after Lupron and Xtandi
PSA
was down to 3.6. Testosterone was down to 4. Second blood test due in two weeks. So far no bad side effects except for occasional hot flashes which are brief but it looks like things are trending in the right direction.

PSA rising after my 4th chemo
I had a steady decrease in
PSA

My most recent PSMA scan showed further progression of metastasis in bone and lymph nodes and my
PSA
has increased fairly rapidly. Currently taking both Orgovyx & Nubeqa. I'm hoping some of the smart and well versed members might weigh in. Thanks

Sufficient Investigation?
The GP was reluctant to give him his
PSA
result and said it was too soon after his obstructive episode. About 2 months ago he found from the nurse taking blood that a prior
PSA
was 8. That is the only result he has had.

indicates that adding docetaxel to standard of care

Rickyfish56 "Introduction"
PSA
in Sept. 2023 was Undetectable. I run 4.5 miles three times a week, casual 2x week weight lifting, trying to get more intense. 12 Grandkids, 1 more on the way, kinda busy, LOL! Feel great, no known side affects, so far.

New diagnosis
Initial
PSA
test was a staggering 15.6. I'm average height, normal weight, 75 kg. A non smoker and generally fit and well with no other conditions, nor do I take any medication for anything else. This was just a random
PSA
blood test, instigated by me, no symptoms at all.

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
So if my lowest
PSA
reading was <0.01, is it right to say that my Nadir was 0.01 and that I should not considerer that my cancer has returned until my
PSA
level goes to 2.0 or higher?

What is reco diet to take abi with food?
I am on Lupron and Abi two months now with <.1
PSA
down from 2.2, MO says I can do abi w food if I want, so is it an okay idea to go with 500 or 250mg per day vs 1000, and if so, how many grams of fat constitute the low fat breakfast to eat with the abi? 🙂

CR Advanced Prostrate Ca, and start of chemotherapy after PSMA
His
PSA
went down to 0.02 and later to 0.01 for almost 14 to 15 years.In early 2022, his
PSA
started rising again, though slowly.In 2023, we consulted our Urologist again, who has put him on Bicalutamide 50 OD again for two months. However, this med did not work this time.
