Trimix with atrial fibrillation meds
My
PSA
has been negligible since then. I was discharged from the hospital yesterday, after an arterial flutter, my first heart problem ever. I was discharged with amiodarone (Pacerone), apixaban (Eliquis), losartan (Cozaar), and metropol succinate XL (Toprol XL), at least temporarily.

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy
Have contra-indications from multi-parametric MRI (4/2023) and latest serum
PSA
(4.4 ng/ml, 9% free
PSA
). SO recommends retest and another MRI in 6 months. Verifying that prev MRI did not include spectroscopy. Im thinking MRI w spectroscopy is the next step if it wasn't part of previous MRI.

Estrodiol and PC
My husband has been rediagnosed with NMPC he is on ADT which is holding the Testosterone very low but
psa
shot upto 82. New MO is starting Enzalutimide plus continuing ADT. Not looking forward to the side effects, but will perservere until
psa
drops.

Do I need 6th Pluvicto infusion? PSA undetectable for 6 months.
PSA
undetectable (<0.02) since June (it was 0.31 in early May when accepted into trial with relatively low burden PSMA-avid lesions). Aug 4 CT/bone scans showed significant reductions in size and activity of lesions (prior to 3rd treatment).

Dental Issues with Finesteride
PSA
has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems. Very sensitive teeth both top and bottom on left side.

Early Results of Estrogen PATCH trial - 1
Stage T3 (73%) and Stage T4 (14%), baseline
PSA
= 35 ng/mL. The upper chart shows the % change in a given measurement after 12 months of treatment, comparing Lupron ADT to high-dose transdermal estrogen (TDE) patch.

PSMA PET Scan????
Also pre treatment cough has returned, (was diagnosed with lung mets as well as bone and lymph node).No scans have been ordered, and seems as though they are only monitoring my
PSA
levels, and will be "Reactionary" rather than "Proactive". Never a mention of ordering a PSMA PET scan. Why is that?

Chemo or clinical trial?
Stopped Pluvicto after #3 due to rising
PSA
and progression. Hoping to get next gen. sequencing from biopsy sample and (maybe) functional testing. But, it's going to take some time to get results and I feel I can't wait.

Go-forward Treatment Plan
He just had a re-test few days ago and the
PSA
has remained at 0.48 over the month . With the rapid
PSA
rise, we had a PSMA PET scan done, and got the results today that there was [u]
uptake in the pelvic lymph node but nowhere else.

PSA
in 7s before treatment).

Just completed a whole gland TULSA procedure
This was salvage treatment after failure of SBRT by MRIdian in Mar 2020.
PSA
nadir after SBRT was 2.4 and it rose to 5.3 just 3 years later, when a PSMA scan showed 2 possible tumours within the gland. A subsequent biopsy confirmed local tumour recurrence with Gleason 4+4.

My husband's lab work for tomorrow's treatment shows a new low on his
PSA

Surgery or radiation, looking for some advices
Quite high
PSA
(way over 20), and spread to multiple lymph nodes. The surgeon said surgery is still doable, followed by radiation. Radiation oncologist recommended hormone therapy followed by radiation.
