Anti thyroglobulin Antibody High
Have had an endoscopy( am awaiting report but consultant didn't seem overly concerned) had a cystoscopy which was clear as I have an enlarged prostate but normal
psa
levels. I got bloods done privately which show I have elevated anti thyroglobulin antibody's.

What is reco diet to take abi with food?
I am on Lupron and Abi two months now with <.1
PSA
down from 2.2, MO says I can do abi w food if I want, so is it an okay idea to go with 500 or 250mg per day vs 1000, and if so, how many grams of fat constitute the low fat breakfast to eat with the abi? 🙂

Neuroendocrine cancer % in APC patients is not rare, it’s becoming common.
My blood tests looked pretty normal with
psa
at .5 and other tested looking like they usually do, except for blood glucose, which is normally in the 93-99 range for the past five years, but was 76 in this week’s test.

If I heard this 5 years ago, I could have saved my life
si=9O_0hI3jjP0Mkz5c The headline is: If you have a
psa
over 1,(under 50y/o) or 1.5 (over 50y/o) demand routine
psa
tests to watch, despite the “standard clinical normal range” of 0-3.9. Something is wrong and it’s not ok to go home and think everything is ok.

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.

Are Lymph nodes a filter?
When I took the ADT, my
PSA
went from 1000, down to 6, and all evidence of cancer disappeared from my lymph, pretty much immediately.

High volume, advanced metastatic prostate cancer
When the
PSA
started to rise, his medication was switched up, a petscan was done and it demonstrated a partial response to cancer, with no advancement of the cancer and as our MO said it was still asleep and not growing.Â

Still Frustrated
As I’ve posted, it began 5 months ago with higher
PSA
numbers in an annual physical. I live in San Diego where there is world class medical facilities and I’ve seen the most highly recommended doctors.

Experience, thus far with Lupron and Abiraterone
I was diagnosed in May 2022 with PCa after my
PSA
was measured at 23.79. I have no other health issues. Following the determination that PCa was still within the prostrate capsule and had not spread to any other organ, I was placed on Lupron (6 monthly IM injections for 2 years).

New Here. Overwhelmed.
PSA
Blood test from a physical came back with a reading of 100. Biopsy results came back with 2 Gleason 4+4's and the rest 4+3's earlier this week. Appointment with urologist Monday to discuss these results. I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared. What is the next step for me?

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.

My 80 year-old dad with MPCa, broke his leg and now seems to be giving up. Advice on best anti-anxiety meds desperately needed.
He had been on abiraterone and pred but his
PSA
had been rising rapidly. Hence the plan to start Xofigo. Till early June he was healing, going out with a zimmer and doing ok. Sadly over last two weeks he has tanked precipitously and is now almost constantly bed bound.
