Zytiga
I've now added Zytiga-1000mg about 3 weeks ago and it has brought my
PSA
down to .98 from 1.8 with only Orgovyx. Is there anything I can do to bring it down still lower, ideally to an undetected level? Poolover PS I'm 86, stage 4, Gleason9.

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.

4.7 PSA
Had my levels tested a year ago which was 3.2 and just last week they were tested again which shows 4.7. Considering my age my consultant thinks it's just inflammation but has ordered a MRI to have it checked. Is 4.7 any reason to be concerned?

Finding consensus on treatment and side effects
My
PSA
went from 8.4 to .012 in two months. Until recently I had really no side effects. Then, 2 weeks after finishing radiation I finally started having the expected side effects, extreme fatigue every afternoon and moderate hot flashes. The fatigue is really debilitating!

Docetaxel - how many rounds did you have?
With my husband's recent
PSA
reading of 5 (down from 162 before we started chemo), it appears still to be working for him. Our MO plans to continue as long as it works and his body tolerates it.

Fenbendazole
My uncle, a very fit 88-year old, was diagnosed with prostate cancer 3 1/2 years ago and while the hormonal treatment kept it in check for a couple of years, his
PSA
has now risen to 1600 and the scans show has spread to his bones.

CT urogram
Hi all, when my husband first had symptoms synonymous with Pca he was sent for a CT urogram, we never knew his
PSA
result, this came back OK. 9 months later an MRI and a subsequent biopsy showed he was Gleason 9 with widespread bone metastasis.

MOST RECENT PSA and TESTOSTERONE TEST

PSA
.01 and T 11 since July of 2022. I had my quarterly test done yesterday and my
PSA
is at .02 and T is at 21.5. They are still undetectable, but not sure what caused the rise.

Switch from Lupron/abi to Orgovyx/abi?
Lupron/abi dropped my
PSA
and TT very quickly so that is not an advantage, but the side effects are considered to be less - though my side effects seem more from abi than Lupron. Perhaps Libido is better with Orgo as it is about gone.

Stopping Lupron
PSA
still undetectable after RT IMRT/VMAT to prostate bed and pelvic floor accompanied by 24 months of Lupron. This was my third regimen after DXed in 11/2017, for more details pls refer to my bio. I will now stop Lupron, let’s see what the future will bring.

New Developments in My Husband's PCA Journey
A repeat
psa
on 12/5/23 revealed his
psa
had risen to .273 (so a definite biochemical occurence).My husband's surgical oncologist at Yale immediately referred him to a Medical Oncologist who started him on Casodex followed by Lupron two weeks later.

Recent PSA test result no longer “undetectable.” What’s next?
After 5+ years of measuring “undetectable” with my
PSA
results I recently measured 0.24 NG/ML which I’m assuming my PCA is becoming active again. I see my oncologist on Monday, 8 Jan for a follow-up appt. Can anyone share with me what the likely next course of action will be?
