puzzled with Orgovyx
When I started orgovyx, my
PSA
was 37. Three weeks into taking orgovyx my
PSA
dropped to 3, now a month and a half into taking orgovyx my
PSA
came back. as 5. A week ago jt came back as 7 and today which is my latest
PSA
test, my
PSA
test came back as 8. Seems like orgovyx is not working for me.

Metastasized to Bones
I was diagnosed with PC metastasized to my bones, after being under urologist care for 18 months I am wondering if poeple who get initially diagnosed with metastasized PC, whether it is because they were not under medical care, doctors did not offer
PSA
test, or doctors simply mess up.

ADT for almost 2 years
It will be 2 years in February next since I started ADT and
PSA
has always been <0.01, but a couple of day ago it came at 0.03. I wrote to my doctor and she answered right away saying that we have to wait for a next result and then we see.

Xtandi vs Orgovyx
His oncologist would like him to begin taking Xtandi (4 pills per day) and Lupron shots (1 every 30 days) to lower his
PSA
level. The last
PSA
level test was conducted on August 1st (less than 2 months of meds) showing a level of 5.9.

3months Post-HD Brachytherapy
Yesterday checked my first
PSA
, 0.8. ( was 7 at treatment). I really enjoyed the experience, crazy as that sounds, due to the doctors, PA, nurses, techs, even the secretaries. They were all so nice & friendly. Can’t recommend them enough.

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
So if my lowest
PSA
reading was <0.01, is it right to say that my Nadir was 0.01 and that I should not considerer that my cancer has returned until my
PSA
level goes to 2.0 or higher?

Small cell advanced prostate cancer spread to liver and lungs.
Justin was diagnosed with a
PSA
over 100 and widespread to bones. Justin has burned through the treatments in just over 16 months, Apalutamide, Radiation, Docetaxel chemotherapy and Cabazitaxil chemotherapy. He is on monthly Lupron injections. As far as I know, no DNA mutations found.

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.

Is inconsistent bowel and urine part of the Prostate cancer? Also almost like dementia?
We know he has terminal prostate cancer but his
PSA
is less then .1 with the six months infusion. Is this a sign that the prostate is progressing? He is in no pain which is a blessing.We found out about the cancer in March and has two infusion.

tumor in spleen
He had radiation plus Lupron and has been in remission 2 years. 4 + 4
Psa
still non detectable. Tumors picked up on pet scan to check kidney. Radiologist has said rare to metastasize to spleen. Said if it does he’d worry it’s neuroendocrine type. Anyone have experience with this?

Abiraterone and Breathlessness
Meanwhile, my
PSA
continues to be <0.1. I should point out that going back on half a dose of Abiraterone has shown little improvement in the breathlessness, and it is certainly a lot higher than the level when I first tried Diltiazem with 500mg of Abi.

Provenge criteria necessary for acceptance.
But are there other requirements like certain
PSA
parameters and lower testosterone levels? Do we have to remain on ADT while being treated with Provenge?

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.

taxotere and PSA
PSA
rose from 4.9 to 5.1. PSMA scan showed decline in bone Mets. Tried a bit of fasting. Just switched to cabitaxel due to seeming failure of docetaxel based on
PSA
rise. Wondering if
PSA
increase was the result of fasting due to a small weight loss.

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

I am still on 0
PSA
with advanced cancer. My journey is on my bio. I was diagnosed at 47 and now I’m 54 with no progression. My primary treatment was Zytiga and it is still working. I take a concoction of vitamins and regularly do hot cold therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
