Pluvicto failed - what is next?
I just got my most recent
PSA
test after my fourth injection and my
PSA
has now gone from 20 to 30. Also my PSMA scan says that my cancer is no more stable and on the move with more tracers. Still just in the bones. Pluvicto was brutal on my body. Extreme fatigue, dry mouth, terrible.

What a long strange road it's been.
PSA
never went to 0 and due to a change in insurance and some confusion over diagnostic vs. follow-up testing there was a gap of a few yrs. in testing. By 2013
PSA
had gone up to over 7.

Fatigue after eating
PSA
is non-detectable. Scans in July showed old mets healed, and no new ones. His fatigue is the same whether we eat low carb or not so I haven't been able to find a correlation with food. Last night we had sirloin and a salad and he was out in 10 minutes.

Moved from Abi to Nubeqa and saw a PSA increase
I recently switched from Abiraterone/Prednisone to Nubeqa because of the high blood pressure that I had with Abi requiring additional BP meds. I was previously .058 a month ago when I switched and .109 today, almost double in a month. Any one with experience with this switch?

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.

Advice needed on treatment options
My
PSA
fell from from 4.27 to 0.82 by the end of 2017. Then the
PSA
started gradually rising, reaching 2.86 by the end of 2021 and I started experiencing lower back pain. After multiple PSMA-PET scans it looked like I had a lesion on my sacro iliac.

They say "Don't be concerned yet", I hear "Oh, crap"
PSA
<0.01 in January as expected with T=23, April showed T=176 (low normal),
PSA
< 0.01, and now in July T=281,
PSA
= 0.02. My RO stated "...while that
PSA
number is not perfect (undetectable), it is not out of the ordinary.

What to do?
On 9/13/23 my
PSA
was 5.7, 10/30/23 8.25 and 11/27/23 it’s now 16.72. This year has been a shit show. I know my MO will put me on pluvicto. Here’s my quandary: I am a single gay man. Parents gone. No siblings. All I have to really live for are my cats.

Long term Effects of radiation
So PCa has become a secondary issue for me as it’s been quiescent with
psa
at <.1 and T at <3.0. Thank God! My story illustrates what the long term effects of radiation can be. I’m 80 and this is my life now. I would just say that radiation shouldn’t be taken lightly. Bob

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.

Bicalutamide Vs Eligard
Gleason 4+4 and
PSA
7.9. Absolutely no symptoms whatsoever, feeling good for a 65yo. RO doesn't seem to be in any hurry.

Masofaniten +Enzalutamide This could be a game changer...Science is coming to our aid
"While the data for patients in cohort four are not yet mature, we are highly encouraged by the
PSA
responses seen thus far in the cohort and in the study as a whole.
