Medical OR chemical castration
PSA
increasing monthly so I will try other chemicals. I want to remain in good shape until my number is up. My question is should I get medical castration to reduce the side effect of extended ADT injections or continue with the ADT. Does medical have less side effects?

I expect that withing 3-4 months my
psa
will tell me if I am in the good group where I could hope to make it to 80 (I am 65) or the bad group where all bets are off. I am somewhat dreading the inevitable that is coming. I dont know what to expect.

They say "Don't be concerned yet", I hear "Oh, crap"
PSA
<0.01 in January as expected with T=23, April showed T=176 (low normal),
PSA
< 0.01, and now in July T=281,
PSA
= 0.02. My RO stated "...while that
PSA
number is not perfect (undetectable), it is not out of the ordinary.

Opinion sought for ADT treatment duration
Then I went through the typical 45 radiation treatments of the prostate. 3 months ago my
PSA
had dropped from 8 to 0.7. Last week it had dropped to 0.1 ng/ml. A biopsy last year showed 1 sample identified as Gleason 8. My urologist thinks I can stop taking Orgovyx at the end of 2023.

my prostate cancer
PSA
has gone from 8.8 to 6.9 ( with 4K back in October of 22), to 5.06 to 5.25 to 4.85 to 5.08 as of a week ago. (The last one done not even 2 months after this last biopsy, but as part of a genetics research that I was asked to do).

Running in circles
His
PSA
is <0.01 but his
PSA
has never been over 4 even before surgery. and only0.03 with mets on T9. So my question is after all this how do we know if it's cancer or not? seems after multiple CT scans and MRI scans I feel as though they should know something by now.

Rapidly Rising PSA
I was originally deemed to have a non-aggressive cancer (in 14 years my
PSA
has never exceeded 4.1) However, over the last 6 weeks (when I have been on no treatment whatsoever, other than 3 monthly injection) my
psa
doubled in 3 weeks (4 - 11) and doubled again in 3 weeks (11-22).

LT and cyberknife
My
PSA
went down to .5 from 6.0 after cyberknife. Six months later it is back to 1.0 should I be worried?

Decision Xtandi or radiation
PSA
dropped then started rising, 9/23 scan showed SUV uptake 28.4 at ischium.
PSA
4.2 Local radiologist is concerned that radiating ischium close to the acetabulum could cause bone damage.

Help deciding on treatment
PSA
5.5, PI-RADS 3 (or 4?), Decipher .55 PSMA PET – no spread. PET results reviewed and confirmed by MSK. I’m officially classified as unfavorable intermediate, although I’ve been told that I’m borderline with favorable intermediate based on only 1 sample of 4+3.
