Interesting PSA observation
After chemo-cycle-1 my
PSA
jumped from undetectable to 0.26 within three weeks, which scared me a lot. Now, after chemo-cycle-2 my
PSA
is back to undetectable. A
PSA
flare can be a side effect of this chemo & medications, not necessarily a sign of castration resistance.

Enhancing my urinating experience?
This, coupled with rise in
PSA
, triggered my oncologist to order both MRI and PSMA scan. Would appear things are progressing and got referrals to radiation oncologist and urologist. Met first with urologist who strongly recommends scheduling a TUAP procedure.

Docetaxel results so far
[/i] Our MO says the RO who wrote this was understating the result - he was more than pleased with the impact the chemo is having so far (which includes a
PSA
drop from 162 to 14). He says pain and discomfort from chemo are preferred to pain and discomfort from the disease.

liver biopsy- what does it mean.
Immunohistochemical stains demonstrate tumor cells are positive for NKX3.1,
PSA
, TTF-1 and focally for CK20, while negative for CK7. This immunoprofile is most consistent with metastatic poorly differentiated prostatic adenocarcinoma.

Update
Just got my blood test results: Testo less 0.1 ng/ML and
PSA
still undetectable. Tomorrow I’ll receive my next 3-month Lupron shot, which will finalize my 24-month ADT after prostate bed and whole pelvic radiation.

My story of my 23 year battle with Pca.
Psa
climbed to 19.14 on Sept. 5. Alp was 141. Abi was started Sept. 9 and on Oct. 3 my
Psa
was 4.74 and alp dropped to 114. Other numbers normal so far however wbc was elevated slightly which is probably due to prednisone.

Obtaining EpiSwitch PSE
The test uses
PSA
along with several genetic markers for prostate cancer detection, which is a marked improvement over 4K in specificity. Does anyone have info on getting the test? It's newly available as of mid September. Info at 94percent.com
