Thinking about stopping Xgeva
One think I might add is I had two compression fractures back when my
Psa
was 5664 and I started Lupron. TIA.

we left he had a
PSA
test and it came back at 9 our oncologist said she didn’t know if it was going up or down because he hadn’t had a
PSA
test before the radiation .

Should the dose of Dutasteride be increased?
The takeaway from doing Dutasteride + ADT COMBO therapy is the huge potential for increasing the time to
PSA
failure.

Help! Hubby's PSA doubling time one week!
Presently
PSA
is 0.19 On Lupron. Should he add bicalumamide, avodart, cabergoline finasteride etc......? Thank you so much from a desperate wife!

What’s the pros and cons of Casodex and Lupron as the only treatment for Gleason 4+5 (9).
My
PSA
went from 13.7 to 100 in one year. It metastasized to my pelvic area and seminal vessel. August 1, 2023 the doctor started me on Casodex, in one week and my
PSA
went from 100 down to 50. I get my
PSA
checked this Thursday August 31st and a 3 month dose/injection of Lupron.

How high must the PSA levels be before cancer can be seen in a CT scan?
If with a
PSA
of 0.09 they would not show, then I might as well cancel those scans until such a time that my
PSA
level is high enough to warrant them.

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.

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.

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.

treatment or no treatment?
To date I have elected not to be treated but instead have been monitoring my
PSA
levels. Originally this was 6 now 15. I am 66 with no symptoms and no other health issues.

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.

Switching to Lupron?
PSA
undetectable (<.064), all scans negative. Will switching to a six month Lupron shot cause testosterone flare?
