Is there hope despite the pain? Is Cabometyx worth it?
LD has a
PSA
of over 1300 at last count and bone mets/fatigue/anemia that keep him in bed most days. He gets transfusions every 3-4 weeks to help with the anemia. It seems like we've tried everything. Pluvicto wasn't the miracle we were hoping for.

8/4/23 Update questions for MO
To review, after 19 months on Lupron, Zytiga, prednisone,
PSA
increased on 1/23 to 0.253, then 0.309 on 2/21. Plarify scan showed only one active site in hip which was radiated. 4/4
PSA
dropped to 0.24 which indicated the lesion was knocked out and I would be hormone sensitive and stay on Zytiga.

Discontinue all antioxidant supplements on early signs of biochemical recurrence?
The latest literature appears to indicate a
PSA
as low as 0.03, regardless of the multi-result dynamics is a reliable very early confirmation of biochemical recurrence.

Looking for advice for my newly diagnosed dad
He’s had a biopsy which showed Gleason 4 +5 and his
PSA
in hospital was 54.7. So far he’s had hormone tablets for 28 days and a 3 monthly hormone shot. The oncologist first appointment gave him the option of apalutamide or doxetal with daralutamide .

Waiting for PSA Rise Post-Surgery Before Obtaining PSMA-PET– waiting too long can put some patients at risk, MedPage Today, July 6, 2023.
The primary endpoint is
PSA
recurrence-free survival based on
PSA
, which will answer whether using PSMA-PET as opposed to conventional imaging following
PSA
rise after radical prostatectomy can reduce the risk of recurrence as measured by a
PSA
rise.

My treatment decisions
I also had been checking my
PSA
for years because of this. I couldn’t reconcile having been checking all these years to catch it early only to wait on active surveillance. I then chose to have a genetic test (Decipher) done. It came back a .76 (high risk).

Urinary incontinence in mCRPC

began to rise in January 2024 with a doubling time of 3.5 weeks, metastasis increased, pain increased, and urinary incontinence presented. Moved to Zytiga in March 2024 with 5 mg prednisone twice daily Lupron injections every six months.

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
This kept the
PSA
low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my MO if I should be getting a scan. He said with the
PSA
that low, nothing would show up. So I went along with the plan (Lupron & Xtandi). A lump developed under my jaw this past August, which created the need for the scan.

Surgery vs SBRT Cyberknife
PSA
3.7-4.2. Met with Surgeon first, "slow growing, non aggressive" he believes is contained by looking at margins and pathology. Met with Radiology Oncologist, "favorable intermediate risk, non aggressive" he believes it is contained.

Enhancing my urinating experience?
This, coupled with rise in
PSA
, triggered my oncologist to order both MRI and PSMA scan. Would appear things are progressing and got referrals to radiation oncologist and urologist. Met first with urologist who strongly recommends scheduling a TUAP procedure.

No indication for Docetaxel ?
PSA
undetectable last month. Zoladex plus Erleada for ever now, more details in my Bio. I´ve asked my MO about having Chemo now to be more agressive, but she discarded it, claiming that there is no studies proving that this "triplet" would be of any good at my stage.

Asking for my dad!!
He has responded well to the treatment thus far and
PSA
dropped from 24 at the time of diagnosis to 4.5 in 27 days. I live in Canada and my dad is in India. I am 31 weeks pregnant and super worried for my dad. I am doing everything I can but distance makes it so much more worse.

MRI guided Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for favorable intermediate recurrence?
Pre ablation
PSA
was 5.76. Post ablation
PSA
1.25, eventually rising to 1.96. One year later, left side clean in MRI and biopsy. However, right side determined to have 2 cores with 3+4, and 4+3.

A good day today
Dad had initial
PSA
of 17 and it was believed localised (2c) and received surgery in June 2018. Failed with a low score of 0.08, upgrade to 3a and subsequently received radiation in January 2019. 37 sessions at 65gy and hormones for between December- May 2019.

Post-prostatectomy cancer status + treatment
Scholz is saying, even if my
PSA
comes back undetectable, he suggests treatment (this is what adjuvant means). It doesn't matter what my first
PSA
reading is. 2. Dr.

From the paper: [i]Introduction[/i] [i]The prostate-specific antigen (
PSA
) test is one of the most widely used screening tests for men at risk for prostate cancer (PCa).1 Recently, several advisory groups recommended against using
PSA
tests because of unsubstantiated outcomes.
