Question, each month with rising PSA, when do I do a pet scan
I believe this is causing my
PSA
to rise. I prefer to radiate, as I finally have my colitis under control with no more bleeding, it’s been a long road with that issue since last July What number
PSA
do I wait to before getting a pet scan?

A quick introduction
PSA
had come down to 0.78. I see my MO again on January 5th and we will determine where we go from here, I supposed based on the results of my blood “labs.” I am grateful for this group and for all of you who post real-life experiences here.

I just started Zytiga and at the age of 86 I'm finding it difficult to climb stairs; I do have a slow heartbeat when at rest: mid to high 40
I've been on Orgovyx for 3 months, when I added Xytiga, which was added because Orgovyx was only able to bring my
PSA
from 12 to 1.8. Thoughts, Terry

CT and Bone Scan 2 weeks after PSMA PET?
For reference, my dad re-did his
PSA
test last Wednesday (Oct/23 - so after a month), which stayed at 0.48. Now, the RO is asking us to do another
PSA
test, CT scan and bone scan, before he can see us. I imagine all this would take another 1 to 1.5 months.

Enzalutamide (Xtandi): Start at half standard dose to extend efficacy time span?
In 2022
PSA
started rising to 3. New PSMA scan in April 2023 showed 3 new metastasis near the prostate and
PSA
up to 5.4. Started Xtandi 160 mg/di in April which pushed
PSA
back down to <0.1 but ALT liver enzyme up to 560 (ULN 59). This forced stopping Xtandi for 4 weeks until ALT was down to 69.

Return of Armpit Odor - Yikes!!!
Due shortly for blood panel including
PSA
. However, I have never had a testosterone test, that I recall. Could the return of odor suggest the return of testosterone? I'm actually "very concerned" . . .

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.

ALT and AST levels
Just had labs done, and
psa
is at 0.1. The concern that I have is that my ALT and AST levels were elevated from what they were before I began ADT. After checking online, it appears that a "mild elevation" is considered to be 2-3 times higher than normal. Mine aren't that high...yet.

Post RP/SRT Pelvic Mass?
At such low
PSA
it does not seem like there could be a mass of PCa (or even benign prostate tissue) large and solid enough for me to feel just sitting down. What else could it be? Bladder? Rectum?

My prostate journey and testosterone side effects
PSA
remains less then 0.04 ng/ml and my testosterone is now back in the normal range at 368 ng/dl. Now my question: can anyone share with me how long the side effects should last after Testosterone comes back into normal range?

PSA slightly rose after 8 months undetectable
Till now I has been undetectable but at November my bloodwork showed
PSA
risen to 0.04. Should I be concerned or could it be just random fluctuation? Thanks for your reactions.

ADT duration for high risk with Cribriform
Low
PSA
, never above 7.0. I did SBRT in July 2023.
PSA
was .05 three months post SBRT (October) and .01 as of March 2024. The study above would seem to suggest that I can bail on ADT after 12 months. I'll ask him about the study, but I may look for other opinions.

Today was a good day
He also had his
PSA
tested today and no change since December. I feel like I can breathe for a moment. We also met with the radiation oncologist this morning to discuss brachytherapy boost and it was a very positive meeting. It’s definitely a contender and we really liked her.

Pluvicto results (good news), next steps
I am currently on Lupron and Nubeqa and my
PSA
and testosterone remain undetectable. I will rotate C-11 and PSMA scans every three months going forward. Question: my doctor has told me that I will likely stay on Lupron and Nubeqa for the next two to three years.

PSA check
He had a
PSA
check on Thursday and was just wondering how long results take to come through? All his othe tests were fine thank goodness. He was also wondering if it was too soon after having infection that he had
PSA
test done. Thanks
