Please advise about treatment
I posted recently about my Dad’s
PSA
going up from 0.008 in December 2023 to 0.029 in March 2024. He had a PET Scan that showed some activity in a rib and prostate, MRI showed nothing. The
PSA
started dropping to 0.026 at the end of March and then 0.025 in April without any treatment.

My
PSA
reading a few months ago was 1900+. it had been rising constantly for three years. Then I started taking Fenbendazole tablets for three days each week, and my
PSA
reading dropped by 400 each month and it is now 800+ and hopefully continuing to reduce! Mobellman

Treatment
The last three
PSA
readings (every three months) were 0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00, I expect
PSA
control soon. You can find more detailed information in my post. I hope for the best, and I wish you the same. Good luck

Small psa rise
PSA
less 0.01 consistently until last week 0.03. Do I need to wait until
PSA
is 2.0 or is there anything I can do before then?

Scary PSA results
PSA
was 11.8. PSMA Pet was negative for METS. Started ADT on November 9. Did 28 sessions of IMRT from Feb 12, 2024, to Mar 21, 2024. Nadir was .8 on Mar 26 and then the last two have been 1.5 and 3.1. RO said 2.8 was the "something more needs to be done marker" I am seeing MO next week.

Anemia on Abiraterone + Prednisone + Lupron
In November my
PSA
was 0.8. In the first three months it went down to 0.26. Yesterday, my
PSA
was 0.16. But my hemoglobin and hematocrit became low at 11.6 and 36% respectively. Can Zytiga cause anemia?

Rise in psa
Psa
has been undetectable for 12 months but just rose to 0.03. Do I need to wait until it rises to 2.0 as I've seen advice before or is there a more proactive approach? Thanks.

Cause for concern?
Ignorant/lazy docs only take notice of the
PSA
, when it is widely known that at low
PSA
PSADT is equally, if not more an important factor, for estimating the probability of a positive PSMA PET/CT detection. With your PSADT of 5 months.....................

levels after RT and have found two studies useful.
