RISING PSA 2 YEARS POST EBRT/ADT
Dr told me that we weren’t going to worry unless/ until
PSA
hits 2.0 but I’m definitely worried now and Don’t know what to make of the plunging T level! Any advice/ information would be greatly appreciated!

Next steps after cabazitaxel
PSA
has fallen from 83 in early July at the start to 5.1 a couple of weeks ago (after five treatments). I live in Nicosia, Cyprus, and am being treated here but I'm also a Mayo patient of Drs. Kwon and Orme. They have identified me as a candidate for Olaparib, based on genetic tests.

No indication for Docetaxel ?
PSA
undetectable last month. Zoladex plus Erleada for ever now, more details in my Bio. I´ve asked my MO about having Chemo now to be more agressive, but she discarded it, claiming that there is no studies proving that this "triplet" would be of any good at my stage.

PSA for PCa Awareness month
There's an App called Nextdoor and they're pretty much in all the cities, even this lil town. I posted on it for men to get screened as a Public Service Announcement for PCa Awareness Month. Many don't know that it's in September, but a whole lot more know that October is Breast Ca Awareness month.

Food supplements I hope will help
I had:
PSA
30, Gleason 10, PCa Stage 4 localized to pelvic region. Treated with IMRT radiation + Eligard + Abiraterone.
PSA
undetectable. Stopped Abiraterone due liver that hates it (liver is ok). Will try Nubeqa, and may switch to Orgovyx after Eligard runs out in December.

Could PSA of 3.0 be a problem?
He was recently contacted by their hereditary cancer clinic and advised that his
PSA
had increased to 3.0 from from last years 2.5. They felt that's a little high for his age and are going to call him in for an MR and a new
PSA
test. Is this any cause for concern?
