What Helps Me With Hypochondria
For example, I had a slightly elevated
PSA
. This is only an issue if 1) it is actually cancer, 2) the cancer is aggressive (most grow very slowly), 3) it doesn't respond to treatment and 4) removal doesn't solve the problem. I have a statistics background, so this approach has really helped me.

I wonder if anyone knows why or has experienced a rise on PSA level (from 70 to 274), 6 months after radiation therapy (VMAT x 26 sessions)?
This month (October), after receiving his Leuprorelin injection, Urologist advised to stop taking Bicalutamide as it is no longer effective due to hormone resistance resulting to a rise on
PSA
level. Instead, take Abiraterone Acetate with Prednisone.

Metformin and rosuvastatin
3 years ago I was diagnosed with unfavorable Gleason 7, with an initial
psa
of 6.4. Three months later I had an RP and have been undetected since. This week I started taking metformin for high sugar levels, I have also been on first atorvastatin and now rosuvastatin for 3 years.

What category of Intermediate Risk Am I?
PSA
13.1 in July 23 and 14.32 Nov 23. 36cc prostate, normal DRE, Grade 2, biopsy 6 out of 15 samples positive. - 9 mm, 5 mm, 1.3 mm - although MRI was 14 mm. Even if I were UIR, the mean benefit of HT with RT (it will be IMRT) mean overall survival was only 0.7 years longer with ADT.

I am about to start ADT and salvage radiation in 2 months (
PSA
0.052) . So in mean time I was going to check him out and wondered if anyone who does a ton of research has heard of him?

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.

How soon after taking 4 month eligard shot can you switch to firmagon?
The treatment worked fantastic and all my pain faded away and my
psa
dropped from 350 to .09 over 11 months. My life was as near normal as can be expected with cancer. Almost immediately my MO was recomending to switch to 4 mo eligard.

prostrate cancer growth
Mine was discovered through annual
psa
testing with standard bloodwork. I went from 2.4 to 7.6 in 12 months. I decided on RP after biopsy and PMSA scan which showed it contained with seminal vesicles invasion. That was in June 2023.

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.

Any Data or MO Advice Regarding Dutasteride / Finasteride At Very Early Biochemical Recurrence?
It's obviously going to slow
PSA
doubling time and thereby probably lengthen the time to when you would pull the trigger on radiation. I know studies have shown they do not increase Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality (PCSM).

PSA Test less than four weeks post surgery
He ordered
PSA
test, testosterone test, and PSMA PET scan. I have received
PSA
back this morning.
PSA
is 36.5. Urologist previously said he would wait for
PSA
because too close to surgery would be unreliable due to effects of surgery.
