Answer to unknown question
Instead of worrying about
PSA
and other test results my real concern was "what was likely to happen as the cancer progressed and would I know".

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.

1, 3 or 6 month ADT?
My
PSA
went to undetectable. Seven years later my
PSA
crept up to seven and I was put on a monthly shot of Firmagon for life. My
PSA
is again undetectable and all scans are negative, as they have always been.

Starting Third Month of Orgovyx--Update
Blood test after two months shows
PSA
of 1.45, down from 16.5--over a 90% drop. So, the medication is working as advertised. I believe their own stats indicate an approx. 98% drop in 90 days. This week's visit with my new MO nurse practitioner went well.

infusion Side Effects
My
PSA
continues to move up so my oncologist ordered 20 sessions of radiation. The radiation was a walk in the park compared to the 1030-1048 Zometa infused Wednesday morning. Holy cow ! Peed (a few dribbles) every half hour. Chills then sweats.

Reporting results from Eclipse Trial
Prior to beginning trial last June I had just gone castrate resistant and
PSA
was at 3.3. A few weeks after the last of four injections
PSA
settled in at .25 so there was still something left.

So there you go - focus on the results of the scans not the
PSA
numbers.
