PSA drop after ADT
Would a 6-month, 9-month or 1 year ADT be sufficient followed by
PSA
monitoring? Thank you all for your advice.

Prostate cancer morphed into NEPC
This kept the
PSA
low (around .2) and kept my MO happy. In 2021, I asked my MO if I should be getting a scan. He said with the
PSA
that low, nothing would show up. So I went along with the plan (Lupron & Xtandi). A lump developed under my jaw this past August, which created the need for the scan.

FYI: New data on progression of visceral mets without PSA progression (discordance) and ARAT/docetaxel therapy
But when met-advance/
PSA
level discordance occurs, it isn't necessarily the case - we can still have "normal" PCa. But how?

PSMA Results
IMPRESSION: PSMA avid right common iliac and right pelvic sidewall/obturator lymph nodes are most likely active metastasis and reason for Rising
PSA
. ——- Hmmm… SBRT perhaps? Some drug(s)? Do nothing at this point? (Besides Bourbon, of course.)

Scared looking for some advice
I found out ten months ago that I had a
PSA
of 6.4. It rose to 9.7 and recently has subsided to 8.3. I did a MRI and they said I PI-RADS 4 with a lesion in my transition zone. Seminal vesticles and Neuromuscular bundes are symmetric.

Sleep while taking Xtandi and Adt
My latest
PSA
was less then <0.01. It has been there for over a year now. ( See my profile for my journey.) My main question is: when I go to bed at night, I never know if I am going to sleep 3 hours or 7 hours.

feeling blessed
Happy to share that no detectable
psa
score at 2 years post prostatectomy. I feel blessed since I delayed radiation which was suggested by Urologist. Going from 3 month checks to 6 month checks. Hopefully they got it all Excellent site for info signing off I hope for good. 🙏🤞

PSA 6.9 six years after prostatectomy but PET/CT negative?
Another
PSA
test? Another CT scan? I mean, why would I subject myself to the Eligard if the scan shows no prostate cancer? Am I missing something? Thanks for any thoughts on this...other than the obvious thought that I'm an idiot for blowing off the
PSA
tests for three years.

ADT and bone health
My recent
PSA
has been increasing from .2 to .7 over 6 months and my onco is starting me on Nubeqa in Nov. because of the milder side effects. I have read the replies concerning bone health and I want to hear what has worked for anyone who is in my stage.

Slight PSA increase
Any idea if slightly increased
PSA
could also be a result of treatment (found studies that certain medications can elevate
PSA
serum level) or this is the first sign of castration resistance? Your feedback is very welcomed.

Retzius sparing techniques during RALP
Current
psa
level 8.8 after 3 months hence send for second high quality mpMRI scan which indicates that lesion more distinct and increased in size which probably indicates the reason for the rise in
PSA
.

Bring PSA from 6.7 to 3.1 in 4 weeks by pure water fast (3wks) and vegan diet (1 wk).
After 14 days I got my first
PSA
and blood test. After 28 days I had my second
PSA
After two weeks I got the results from my first blood test and
PSA
test. The
PSA
had dropped from 6.7 to 3.8! I was delighted!

Supplements and self-care
My
PSA
was 108. I started on Firmagon and my
PSA
kept rising up to 134 and my alkaline phosphatase was almost 350. After that first month I was switched to Lupron, which brought my
PSA
down to 53.

ADT + darolutamide + docetaxel (ARASENS trial) has anyone tried it?
After less than one month of regrouping and ADT only (decapeptyl - triptotrelin, which got my
PSA
from 70 to 15), my MO decided to do the ARASENS trial triplet (with my full approval, I was going to propose him this protocol). Has anyone tried it? Any suggestion?

Explain my PSMA PET SCAN Please..
No
PSA
values available. PSMA PET/CT for subsequent treatment strategy. TECHNIQUE: The patient received an IV injection of 9.2 mCi F18 Piflufolastat in the righthand. After an initial uptake phase of approximately 60minutes, a CT scan with oral contrast, without IV contrast was acquired. .

Clinical Trial Considerations??
At that point,
PSA
was in the low 4’s. Earlier this year,
PSA
rose to 6.7. MRI and guided biopsy uncovered one Gleason 4+4, so my AS days are over. The tumor is small: 3mm long and 14% of the core. PSMA scan indicates no spread. For treatment, I’ve chosen radiation at UT Southwestern in Dallas.

Nerves taken
A friend just shared that he had a G8 and a
psa
of 10.2. He had a RALP and the doc said the cancer was contained to the prostate. Then he said that the doc took both nerve bundles (R & L). How is the cancer contained but required both nerve bundles to be taken?

PSA rise soon after surgery!
And a focal/ very small part of inductal cancer. ( We got scared over that but they said it was very very small) Pre
PSA
surgery was 7,6 and 9.We were able to leave this. Atleast what we thought. Fast forward 4 months after last
PSA
check.
