My decision on Radiotherapy -v- Prostatectomy
I'm based in the UK and had a
PSA
of 12.7 from a test in June 2023. That led to an MRI in August with a PI-RADS of 5 with irregularity on the front of the prostate. I eventually had a biopsy at the end of September after 3 cancellations (this was through the NHS).

PSMA Pylarify Test
Finally getting a PSMA Pylarify test after a
PSA
rise from 0.64 to 0.90 in 11 weeks. Should be interesting. No symptoms from the cancer so far. At the current
PSA
level it would appear there is an almost 90% chance of locating cancer somewhere.

Break from ADT or not?
The
PSA
is 0.025. Your expertise and advice are greatly appreciated. Should my Dad continue with all 3 Lupron/Zytiga/Prednisone or should he continue only with Lupron or should he take a break from all 3? Thank you SO MUCH ❤️

., also the link between
PSA

Final Path Report After RALP (Dad - 74, G7- 4+3) , what’s next ?
With the above should we be considering waiting on the
PSA
results or proactively consider ADT + Radiation as an option. We are now meeting a medical oncologist next week to go over these reports to understand next steps. Thank you again for your help.

Minimum PSA for GA-68 PSMA Scan
My
PSA
rose, but only a very minimal amount. I have been on Eligard and abiraterone for five years and my
PSA
has always been <.05 ng/ml and my last test came back .05 ng/ml with all
PSA
tests performed at the same lab.

Use it or lose it - workout questions.
PSA
kept going. Started chemo 2 weeks ago. This spring and summer I've slid way back, lots of muscular atrophy and weight loss. I'm getting ahead of the pain, at least for now.

Waiting for PSA Rise Post-Surgery Before Obtaining PSMA-PET– waiting too long can put some patients at risk, MedPage Today, July 6, 2023.
The primary endpoint is
PSA
recurrence-free survival based on
PSA
, which will answer whether using PSMA-PET as opposed to conventional imaging following
PSA
rise after radical prostatectomy can reduce the risk of recurrence as measured by a
PSA
rise.

Biopsy results in 2 weeks - questions?
My
PSA
was 12 and an MRI scan showed a dodgy area on the front of the prostate. My PI-RADS score was 5. I was then booked for a biopsy which got deferred 3 times. I was told I would get the results within 2 weeks. Over 2 weeks later I got 2 separate letters giving me the appointment.

Long survivors with ADT + Xtandi (Enzulatamide)
5 years after RPE and RT my
PSA
is rising again. I am advised to start ADT + Xtandi. Who are longest still on this combination without getting castration resistant?

Psoriatic arthritis
Could this actually be
PSA
or is utterly something totally different? Will post this on the NRAS forum as well as I'm not sure where would be best to get advice. Thank you

testosterone, following cancer, treatment with stable PSA
PSA
stable at .006. Low Free testosterone. My problem is fatigue and lack of strength in spite of working out. I am considering testosterone supplementation to a low level, while monitoring
PSA
. The literature supports that this is relatively safe, although to me, it seems illogical.
