Update on my daddy- 8 years stage four
Dad is now 82 and the effects of treatment are more evident than ever on him. 😞 Fast forward to the present, when seeing his
PSA
on the rise his oncologist considered Pluvicto.

PSA
on April 17 with just Lupron was .7. I started Xtandi on April 15th. My
PSA
on May 14th was still .7. My MO said this was likely my nadir. I’m not sure if radiation will be approved with a .7
PSA
. I’ve received the results of my 2nd PSMA PET scan yesterday.

I had the
PSA
taken again on September 6 and it is 5.89 which is actually lower than the 6.15 that came back on February 23, 2023. Both the surgeon and the radiologist where I go are saying I could stay on AS or get treated.

Spot Radiation before Pluvicto?
Mr.Spouse was high Gleason, low
PSA
(3.38) at dx, 100% cores GL 9 with some 8s. Except for one brief uptick in ALP (63) in 2018, blood tests are always within normal range. Latest ALP a couple weeks ago was 43.

My Pluvicto Journey is Over
I finished treatment #5 on August 10th with a
PSA
of over 400. But worse than that was what it did to my hemoglobin and Platelet counts. Last week my hemoglobin was down to 6.2 and after 2 units of blood it only rose to 7.8. Platelet counts drooped to 18k.

PSA from secondary deposits!
I had a radical prostatectomy in 2012 and my
PSA
levels until about a year ago were undetectable. I was then on annual
PSA
blood tests, but now they have put them up to 3 monthly as the
PSA
has risen, although still very low at around 0.2 .

PSA went from 0.97 to 0.99 during chemo treatments. Should we be concerned?
His latest blood results showed
PSA
of 0.99 however the ones 3 weeks before was 0.97. I am concerned with the results as so for each blood test since starting the treatment it’s been decreasing. Please let me know what this means. Thank you.

enzalutamide dosing
Every medial professional and non medical professional cautions me againstthe reduction but for atleast the last month my
PSA
has been holding fast at < 0.05 the same as before when I was taking the full 160 mg dose. Can anyone explain to me if or why I should not deviate downward from 160 mg?

Rising PSA after SBRT
Yesterday, I went for my blood test...my
PSA
had risen to 14.9 from 8.5 in March.I had expected the
PSA
to decline after SBRT. What does the increase in
PSA
mean? That the rib met was a false positive? What are the recommended treatments now going forward?

My Small PCa Cells Don't Produce PSA
-
PSA
hovering between 0.3 and 0.6. MO appointment coming in up with a big question in my mind: continue with chemo or not? My QOL is approaching the tipping point. I'm a warrior but am not going to fight a losing battle and suffer with tons of pain in many places.
